The explanation for the top 5:
1. Born rich kids landing good jobs via nepotism
2. Oil industry
3. Engineering and likely some engineering for the oil industry
4. Oil industry but with fewer connections than Tejas folks
5. Old people industry (medicine, investing for old folks, building etc). Also various organized crime work (they pay their professionals well).

Only because 81% of their university graduates become trophy wives that do not work, thus falsifying their number, which is actually $300k give or take!1!
And the fact that our law school and medical school wasn't taken into consideration. But you're right too

. I sort of assumed this was the norm for all ( or most) flagship universities, but recently learned that Arky has no Vet or Dental school
All the major universities in Kentucky have a long standing contract with Auburn and Tuskegee in regards to vet school. As long as they are in that contract, they'll send all their vet folks to either of those schools and they get residence status at those schools.
I can't speak for Arky but it may be a similar situation being in a state with equine racing.

To add to that, how many schools have a nursing or pharmaceutical program, which LSU does not have?

I never understand why people go to the trouble of doing these studies without taking it a step further and comparing incomes vs per capita where the people that respond to the polls actually work. The same $$ figure translates to significantly different "wealth" in different places. Study just seems so incomplete...

Really? I dont think that number is too crazy of an average. Engineers at 37 years old will be making well into the 6 figures, any accounting major will be making right at 6 figures at 37, and even the bullshite degreed people will be making in the 60s or 70s at 37
you forgot to add ag based jobs. Farming has a some really good years and the supporting industries (i.e. tractor sales, chemical sales) have raked in the $$ the last few years.

Well a great deal has to do with the local economies as well as the typical wages/salary for any given profession taking into account the area's prevailing wage. For example, 70k in Tennessee would go a lot further than it would it Texas and in Mississippi it would go even farther.
When the auto industry came here we had engineers move here from Michigan, take a pretty large pay cut, and live like kings compared to how they lived in MI.

Tennessee has all these programs.

Me neither, but I enjoy the reactions.
Having worked in New York and Dallas, a very one dimensional look at income levels is incomplete.

I would just like to point out I graduated 5 months ago and I already make more than the bottom 4.

Bama will have a chance to move up the list when those 50% Out of state students move back to their home states to work. Minimum wage up north is higher than an entry level management position in the South.

A DO school is opening on Auburn's campus next year. VCOM is private so I doubt Auburn will be able to claim it.

this is the internet. I thought we were all supposed to make six figures and bang 10s on the reg?

Ours is higher than I thought it would be. The Petroleum Engineering program helps a lot I guess

Those figures are not correct based on the info you can gather straight from their website.
Fail.
Fail.

That's what I was joking about in my explanation post but it's very true. Also, I would assume that various offshore activities (regardless of degree) help. Most jobs don't care what you majored in save for the ones that require specific technical expertise. I would guess that given the local economy and proximity to nearby economies that LSU grads could easily snag a job on the executive track in various oil and offshore companies even with a degree in basket weaving since the degree is what matters most.
