what is a Harvard "tech" alum? They barely have an engineering school. What is the Olin College of engineering?
Also useful to note that these figures (according to your link) are the amount of over the average a tech alum earns. Though, as a (highly paid) STEM alum myself, I note that they don't really clarify by what they mean by "XXX tech alum" - is that the average? median? So I don't really put too much stock in this. No association myself, but GATech esp strikes me as a totally good bargain that this "survey" would not cause me to change my view of at all. Def. ignoring Santa Clara University - I mean, in Silicon valley, $30k above the tech average would get you an outhouse to live in. No thanks. |

| I judge the quality of a ranking solely based on whether my school is above its rival. This ranking places us higher than them, so it has my stamp of approval. |

Useless list.
Harvard, Yale, and Brown are not players in tech. But those kids get picked up for Wall Street, which is different. No one from Harvard or Yale is engineering anything except financial engineering. |

| So, college basically doesn't matter. The top and bottom of that list are almost identical. |

| This is just an obfuscated ranking of average student IQ. |
