Someone graduating with a BA from Princeton may be trying to make management consulting or Wall Street money, though.
On the other hand, in many other career directions, graduating from Princeton may not be a big pay or hiring advantage over graduating from wherever in the same major.
Nonetheless, it is interesting that not only does SUNY Downstate have the highest earning graduates in NY (higher than Cornell, Columbia, NYU, etc), but evidently they are the highest earning in the country.
SUNY Downstate is focused on health professions, including medicine (about 45% of students; most of the rest are nursing or other health profession programs like PA, OT, PT).
