[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't control for student quality. Selective colleges graduate students who get paid more because the kids are smarter (or better connected), not just due to the college. Less selective colleges have more less smart students. A smart student could opt for a lowe tier college and still succeed well above average for that school. [/quote] I think it has less to do with selectivity than school culture. Many of these schools are similarly selective. Some schools have capitalistic go-getter types and some have more earnest intellectual types. Some produce a lot of quant-y types across majors that tend to earn more right out of college. Others are more writing focused that tend to build their earnings over time (and I mean this distinction within majors--a linguistics major at MIT is more likely to go towards computational linguistics, at a liberal arts college more towards foreign languages).[/quote]
