[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why the focus on medicine, but students get into top medical schools from public universities all them time. Many of the top medical schools ARE at the very same schools.

Because its a given there to get high income even if you are mediocre and just doing basics. In law or finance or consulting, you've to be really top to get to top income.[/quote]

Not true. It just isn't. I look at the people in the offices around me, around my siblings in their offices, my husband in his, my nephews and nieces in theirs, and it simply isn't true. There is an enormous variety of schools represented. And many of the "top college" people flame out too. In fact, in my summer associate class, two of the ones who didn't get offers went to Harvard and Yale. It's not where you went, but who you are and how well you do. Top income comes from building your book of business by hitching your self to the right practice group, getting results, and hustling. And even so, you cam make a top 3% living without all that.[/quote]

US News published a graphic showing salary by school and industry sector. You notice it's bimodal: 
1. T20 schools in private sector start at $180k
2. All the rest, median starting salary especially for public sector jobs is around $60k which is less than a lot of people with just a BA, lmao

So no, you don't [i]have [/i]to go to the top college to do well in law and make a great living - no doubt there are exceptions - but that's the way to bet, and I sure wouldn't go into debt for a law degree to start at $60k

Law school is not a good example.  
We are talking undergrad.

Undergrad business major could be a great example.

The PP this was responding to was talking about law.[/quote]
