[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think that part of the reason grads or undergrads from top tier 1 schools out earn counterparts is because a lot of them land the higher paying jobs at more prestigious firms and such due to connections, alma mater, etc.... [/quote] I think this is the point the author of the paper is trying to make. I skimmed the actual paper. What I found disturbing is the disparity between men and women. The datasets the author used comprised almost 200,000 college graduates of varying ages up to 76. I'd be interested to see if anything can be said about different generations within this group. Overall it is a pretty interesting piece of research. Certainly disputes the other studies that have said there is no difference in earnings (she addresses that research in the paper-- she uses a different dataset and methodology). If you are interested in this type of research, the full paper is worth a read. [/quote]
