so I guess they counting all the athletes that make millions right. Because there are not enough engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc.. salaries to off set the scale of the thousands of teachers (severely under paid), liberal art majors( why did you go to college anyway), etc...

Not surprised to see Bama last, we learned from the Wonderlic that a lot of Bama grads can’t even read

Not shocking. We produce gif quality engineers, bims majors who go to med school, lawyers, scientist, business majors, supply chain dorks, and vets. Far less useless degrees.

How much do you think has changed in 5 years?

Convenient way to eliminate the bulk of that professional athlete money,

GT Tiger's list is a lot more up to date, yours is five years old.
Nonetheless, I doubt Alabama will ever be near the top. One of the missions of our university is to provide comprehensive majors that is a bit more broad spectrum than many others.
For example - Auburn is known for putting out a LOT of engineers. Good on them. I work with a bunch. Alabama is known to put out a lot of communications majors, nurses, and educators. Also fine folks. But that's is an entirely different class of earnings power. Both serve the state well. Both have much overlap in their program offerings. I graduated from Alabama with a physics degree. But there sure wasn't many of us in the program.
As a Bama grad, I am doing well and frankly better than I ever thought I might. I don't get too concerned about such lists because when it comes to starting salary and mid-career pay, it is so much more about YOU than your school. At one point in my career, I was a technical recruiter. People I prepped for interviews consistently got offered more money starting new jobs.
It is what it is. There is no SEC school for which a motivated graduate cannot attend, do well, and make a great wage.

Very true, and after a few years in the work force, where you went to school is largely irrelevant. Your work is what matters. Where you went to school can get your foot into the door, but it's all on you thereafter.
These lists also tend to be slanted towards cost of living in different areas. For the most part, it should be no surprise where the schools fall. And based on the graph in the OP, the majority of schools in the SEC fall in the same range regardless

Absolutely. And to be fair about it... there are tons of people at college whose goal has very little to do with education and the granting of degrees. Some go to party, some to enjoy football, some to drink and chase the opposite sex, some even in pursuit of an Mrs. Degree.
A few hundred bucks difference on these charts are statistically insignificant. Like James Coburn playing Justin Fairfax in the movie "Payback" once said... "$70K??? Hell, my SUITS are worth more than that!"

You are correct. Anyone who graduates with a degree from an SEC school and wants to succeed has the tools to do so.
LSU, like Auburn, has had a large Engineering School in place for years and LSU just did a 150 million upgrade to the old CEBA to make it a modern Engineering Comprehensive Learning Complex. LSU Engineering grades do very well which helps LSU in those earnings measures 15 years post graduation that the OP posted. Also, LSU has other good STEM majors and lots of good Business School grades who do well 10-15 years post graduation.

An Auburn grad makes $10,000 more a year after 15 years? That’s incredible.
