What's more telling? School or Degree Program....From the other forum

[sanantone]

Aught 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.

They did find out that major had somewhat of an impact and so did experience. The top schools also had a lot of people who went on to graduate school, so that is why they had higher salaries. They did mention that individual factors, such as SAT/ACT scores, could have an effect, but they needed more data.
