And again, it's useless information b/c it's based on averages. You need to compare students with the same numbers and level of ambition in order to have anything of value.[/quote]

Do you even understand yourself what you are trying to say??????[/quote]

Yes. Trying to compare one college's ability to educate to another's ability to educate based on the average salary of their graduates is pointless. Showing an average salary compares all students at one college to all at another, but everyone knows the average student at GMU is not as intellectually capable as the average student at Harvard and shouldn't be expected to earn as much. The only way to compare one school to another is to compare what they're capable of doing with the same level of ability and ambition, and the only people who have done this with anything approaching the scientific method (Kruger and Dale) have found that it's the individual that matters, not the university.[/quote]

No, the data and market says  GMU CS >> Harvard English
The market decides who's capable of what and willing to pay that much.
