College Admissions Is About to Get Way Less Stressful

Not sure we can trust the published numbers, but I always try to find schools that have higher projected salaries at graduation and 6 or 10 years out. The numbers are definitely skewed a bit because it’s not necessarily fair to compare a school that has engineering to schools that don’t, for example, or to compare schools in different parts of the country, but I do look at the numbers, nonetheless. My kids are/will be studying business so this is important to us. And I do think some schools are worth the higher price, based on what I am seeing. I don’t think my oldest would have the internship she has lined up right now if she’d gone to the schools that offered her substantial money. But there is no way of really ever knowing, is there?
