[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Payscale reports the following rankings and average earnings:

Georgetown - #16 -  $73,800 (early career) - $156,000 (mid career)
Virginia ——— #66 - $72,300 (early career) - $137,300 (mid career)
Emory ———- #90 - $71,500 (early career) - $133,400 (mid career)

So Georgetown grads end up making 20k more than Emory grads which is good but not that impressive considering location. 71k is Atlanta will give you a princes lifestyle. [/quote]

Why would you assume Emory grads all stay in Atlanta?[/quote]
Because they do, it's not an assumption. [/quote]

But it is an assumption when we’re talking about mid career earnings as posted. And even early career earnings as reported by Payscale doesn’t refer to first year out of college. All we know from what Emory reported is where graduates were living in their first year out of college. And only 57% had their first destination with an employer. The rest were in grad school, the military, etc. so we can’t use these locations as a statement about salary to be adjusted by local cost of living - not wen 43% of them aren’t even earning a salary in a job on a career path.[/quote]
