^ As I have stated before in this thread, I don’t think that you can draw the conclusion that you did from the data that you have. As many people have noted, salary is very dependent on major and profession. As it turns out, many of the Patriot League and Ivy schools have preprofessional majors and schools like engineering and business who’s grads will earn more while NESCAC schools have almost none. That doesn’t mean that a history major from Bucknell will earn more than a history major from Amherst, however, or that someone from Holy Cross will have a greater chance at entering consulting than someone from Williams.
