Starting salaries are very misleading because every area has a different market. It’s just comparing apples and oranges and calling one better. An 95k starting salary sounds great out of Stanford, but Stanford is in the Bay area. That’s barely paycheck to paycheck. If you deflate living costs, it comes to around 50k a year in Texas. Well, in Texas you can live much better on 50k than you could on 95k in the bay area.

Don’t believe everything you read in the news, because the stats they use are very often bias or distorted. Just choose a school that work for you and your family.
