Numbers lie all the time. For example choosing to limit by B.S degree almost immediately slants the list in favor of schools that specialize in engineering as I alluded to in my previous message.

Correct, ag schools like Auburn, Mississippi St and A&M tend to focus on engineering in which the salaries are predictable.

Schools like Alabama are more well-known and tend to do better with liberal arts...business, history, journalism...in which salaries vary greatly but have a far more diverse alumni base in several industries.

But yes, liberal arts schools tend to be the ones that have the law schools which evens things out. Auburn, Mississippi State don't have one, A&M only recently bought one in 2012 by purchasing Texas Wesleyan in Ft. Worth but it's certainly not on the level of Vanderbilt, Florida, Alabama and UGA.
