"The median annual earnings of individuals that received federal student aid and began college at this institution 10 years ago"

I don't know how accurate that is for small school. Many majors have graduate in counts by don't have any income data at all, presumably because not enough students in that major got Federal aid. [/quote]

So this is four/six years out after graduation. 
Most grad schools is 2-3 years.  Even law schools are 3 years.

If we're talking top colleges, most grad school is certainly not 2-3 years, more like 5-8 years. 2 is for a scam masters program, 6 is for a PhD that pays you.[/quote]

2-3 year masters programs are not scams. 
Again even law schools are 3 years and MBAs are 2-3 years. 
Which schools have exceptionally high rate of PhD candidates?  or Medical schools?
Source?  If that's the case you can take that into a consideration.
No data is perfect but this is the best out there.[/quote]
Professors will always recommend a PhD over a masters. Where my DC attended...
Amherst:[url]https://careers.amherst.edu/outcomes/[/url]
Pomona:[url]https://www.pomona.edu/outcomes/interactive-dashboard[/url]
Stanford (Most of those masters are in education, take those out, PhDs shoot up): [url]https://ed.stanford.edu/careers/outcomes[/url][/quote]

I recommend brain surgeon. Much better outcome.
What's the point? LOL
