I take that link to mean that these colleges offer the best tuition rates for in-state students. Nothing more, nothing less.
Lol that was just explaining why public schools are so favored by prospective college students, as compared to the expensive and elite privates.

If you'd read the list, you'd see that it has this uncanny thing where all the top schools are....smart?

I would think a journalism program would drag the numbers down. My guess is, only the elite of the elite of journalist are living large. Nursing programs would be the same (just guessing) Auburn has agriculture. I am sure that hurts severely. Auburn also has a College of Education. Teachers don't make much in quite a few states.
I am not sure what all UGA offers, but I would guess there are programs there that would drag the numbers down also.
ETA I would bet if you took the top three programs at each SEC University, the numbers would dramatically climb.

I was in UGA's business school, so I guess my view on the salaries of our other programs is a little distorted. UGA does have a massive journalism school, a big college of education, and a lot of liberal arts degrees. I can see those salaries being low to begin with, but they have to trend a little higher after 10 years, right?

I'd be very interested in that

Big fan of that 3rd link that says Auburn is the best college in Alabama
I would agree with that.

You must have just conveniently forgotten that you were in a thread discussing college rankings, and that these types of discussions generally tend to regard the academic standing of one vs. another
I guess either you didn’t go to UGA or this really confirms that UGA is a shite tier school if you think these rankings actually rank academics....

Those salaries are horrible. My niece just graduated from a 2 year program at some random tech school and became a sonographer. She makes 65k a year to start.

They are. Which is why I asked where they came from. Salary scales are usually derived from crowd sourced info that isn’t verified and usually only includes data from a few hundred people.

You are the most self gloating person on this entire site. You keep pretending how great you and your school are when in fact nobody gives a shite. You live in Texas for fricks sakes (the last place I would ever choose to live). Apparently your life isn’t too impressive with

Are you really saying a fabricated ranking by Wall Street journal is a beacon for determining academic worthy? Lol

in all fairness, all the rankings are "fabricated" and the vast majority of them dont actually have much of anything to do with actual academics. He was also responding to a UGA fan who used fabricated and non-academic rankings to speak of academic caliber

I don't know how accurate this is since the avg starting salary for an LSU grad was $48,900 in 2016

Well there are very few sources out there that rank solely off academics. I googled "UGA academic rankings" and those were the links that pulled up. I know most of these rankings are made up of weird formulas that take account a wide variety of non-acadmeic factors relevant to what makes a college "best".
The links I provided and the one in the OP are really the only ones that exist. Not many publications sit down and rank schools strictly by their academics alone.
I was trying to show that UGA has been getting higher and higher placements on these lists, and that it correlates with the recent efforts by the UGA administration to further solidify ourselves as a prestigious public institution.
I merely was using the resources that were offered by the internet. If I made them appear to be the be-all and end-all, my bad.
