Caught this over on the "other forum" and figured I would share it here https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grad...our-major/
Essentially the piece tries to address what matters most the school you go to or the degree you pursued. Not surprisingly, there are a bunch of pretty well known colleges at the top of the list. Top 20 seem to be a mix of the elites with a heavy dose of schools that focus on specific in demand vocational fields like maritime academies and STEM (Engineering really) schools.
Steve Foerester pointed out that they left out the individual, the person's independent drive and ability to network....certainly true and deserving of consideration.
The piece also pointed out that those with Masters fared better overall than those with Bachelors alone.
Just food for thought/discussion.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.
