So the school with the high acceptance rate has grads that make more money than the elite grads from UGA?

That just a small sample size. They only need a handful of people to bring their avg up.

You mean the school that has 5k less undergrads and an established engineering program is only making $2k more on average per student?

If it doesn't account for cost of living, don't bother posting it.

That said, AU has a ridiculously high percentage of STEM degrees coming out of there, so good on them.

These polls are always so stupid. So much of these alleged salaries are based on where these graduates live. For instance, 100k/year in Dallas isn't the same as 100k/year in Jackson, MS. For instance, my job at my firm in Nashville pays about 60% more at the same firm in our California office (outside San Fran). I would assume A&M grads are going to Dallas and Houston. Now compare that to Alabama grads who go to Birmingham or Ole Miss grads going to Memphis and Jackson. By and large you are going to receive the same education at most state schools unless you are in some specialized field the college is known for. A liberal arts degree at Ole Miss will get you the same opportunities as a liberal arts degree at Georgia.

Sort of like texag7 and ColoradoAg can make all of you Aggies look like total dicks?

But to your point, only if both grads are going somewhere outside the sphere of influence of both universities. In Atlanta, for example, the UGA degree is going to hold more water than a comparable degree from Ole Miss.

When I first read the headline I thought it meant how much the average player was paid while in school, then saw Vandy at the top and figured it couldn’t be right.
