The top 20 colleges only differ in salaries in a range of about 10 grand, which doesnt really mean anything. The average college grad pulls in around 40 grand a year, but an engineering graduate, from MIT makes +120K. Wow.

I agree wtih all the points you made. #1 choose your field based on your interest, skills, talents, passions. You’ll only be truly successful if you like what you do. #2 Don’t overburden yourself with loans that will be difficult to pay back if your starting salary is bound to be low (based on the field you go into). #3 There are so many things to consider when choosing a college. It is worth a look at these statistics but it shouldn’t be the top reason for attending the college.
