<p>Scroll down to “Base salary based on citizenship”</p>
<p>Median US citizen : 60000
Median Foreign National: 52000
Median Total : 59000 </p>
<p>That makes sense</p>
<p>but now this</p>
<p>Mean US citizen: 53395
Mean Foreign nationals: 49599
Mean Total : 56210</p>
<p>anyone see something wrong with this picture?</p>
<p>lol. I’m also confused how the mean of total could be that much greater than the mean of the means.</p>
<p>Perhaps it’s because Ross people can’t do math like an engineer?</p>
<p>GoBlue, I don’t mean to be an ass (since I agree with you), but it was really funny and somewhat-stereotypical-of-engineers when you made that comment while making a grammar error :P.</p>
<p>^ funny how you try to be grammar police while blatantly misuse hyphens.</p>
<p>Yes, I did blatantly misuse hyphens. That was quite exaggerated on purpose (meant for humor) since the post wasn’t an attack on GoBlue, but just a funny comment. </p>
<p>It’s funny how you try to be the grammar police while forgetting a gerund.</p>
<p>And mine was a funny comment too, considering that my post started with “funny…”</p>
<p>I like this.</p>
<p>So the real point of this thread is that by simultaneously classifying oneself as a US citizen and a foreign national, you (magically) have a higher mean salary.</p>
<p>^
OMG That’s me… even though it’s technically not allowed, all three of my countries of citizenships follow the dont-ask-dont-tell policy.</p>
<p>Too much effort to continue bickering, but you’ve got me curious about the citizenships; what countries bearcats? My (former) country made me give up citizenship upon acquiring a US citizenship.</p>
<p>Obama keeps saying he wants to repeal DADT, but he keeps postponing action. Stay strong!</p>
<p>^
lol dang… and here I was thinking that if there is ever WWIII and the US implements a draft, I would just pretend to be gay to avoid it…</p>
<p>@ strife15: I dont want to tell too much about myself, but all 3 are desirable citizenships career-wise</p>
<p>Fair enough, sorry for the intrusion. Probably not anything asian if it’s beneficiary for a career >_<.</p>
<p>As long as you’re at UM, just remember that drafts aren’t for Canadians.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Quite a false statement, unless you are being sarcastic.</p>
<p>Yea that mean calculation makes no sense. It should be a weighted average of the two means, based on the 97.3%/2.7% make up of U.S./Foreign -> 53,395<em>.973 + 49,599</em>.027 = 53,292.51. I love Google’s little calculator. So easy to do quick arithmetic.</p>
<p>I wasn’t being sarcastic; being asian is beneficiary for a career? It definitely sucked for college admissions.</p>
<p>It’s a reference to citizenship, not descent.</p>
<p>Well I was still talking about citizenship, not descent >_<. My apologies for the lack of clarity.</p>
<p>There are great business opportunities in Asia. Having an Asian citizenship makes it easier to work there.</p>
<p>Here’s a more detailed report: <a href=“http://www.bus.umich.edu/pdf/EmploymentProfile2009.pdf[/url]”>http://www.bus.umich.edu/pdf/EmploymentProfile2009.pdf</a> I would guess that this somehow has something to do with the people not looking for employment yet, but I don’t know. </p>
<p>But if the thread was just about how Ross people can’t do math then… I guess so.</p>
