Engineering and nursing are two areas that if you don't go to a top school, it's okay..

I think this is true also. My child is going for accounting and plans on getting his CPA. He even says why spend so much on expensive colleges and chose instate public that has a strong accounting program. Fingers crossed! |

Maybe listing is a better choice of words? It's just showing which graduates earn the most actually working in engineering (so, no it's not including Harvard engineering grads that go work for Citadel). Seems like a relevant list for this thread. |

Maybe this list is directionally correct, but where are they coming up with these salary numbers? I barely know anyone graduating from MIT or Stanford only making $80k or $85k. |

| I have to laugh at the salary charts (post grad). We had one of ours go on to play in the NFL. His salary alone busted our “average” for several years. Seemed like an average student (but spent an insane amount of time prepping for or playing ball), nice guy, short pro career, now a PE. My hat’s off to him. |

| In the Midwest, you can have a nursing degree from a straight-up diploma mill and still get a job. |

I'm glad a nursing degree is easily accessible. We need more of them. |

The premise of this thread is already ridiculous. Comparing nursing and engineering is ludicrous….With a nursing degree you can be ……a nurse…or work in the health field..
You are limited. With an engineering degree you can do anything. Any employer on basically any field understands you are getting a problem solver who can get things done. |
