<p>The idea of ranking universities by salary bugs me. Among other things, it does not take into account the types of students attending those schools and the inherent wage differences in different regions. Plus, there is just the issue that it implies that the primary reason to got to a specific college is to haul in as much cash as you can.
My brother graduated with ~3.3-3.5 GPA from Michigan Tech and landed a starting job at $90,000. He picked the school because it was a good fit academically and for his personal outdoor interests, not because of rankings, either money-based or whatever BS-based thing the USNWR pulls out.</p>
