[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so focused in this thread on only income? The real question is how satisfied are these people with their accomplishments within their field, and how much do they enjoy the totality of their life? My guess is that the vast majority of Princeton or MIT or Wellesley grads are the type of people who make about $125K and have an interesting and enjoyable job doing something they love like running a charter school they founded or leading a team of engineers trying to develop some new tool, and these people are almost universally considered a high status person in their community in NOLA or Denver or wherever they settled. The ones in places like NYC, DC, SF tend to be the go getters so they probably make more money OR they have much more prestigious jobs and operate at the national elite level. [b]B[b]ut overall, these schools' grads are almost universally doing what they want to be doing and making a comfortable living. In contrast, the vast majority of people who graduated from Navarro College aren't making $125K by age 50 and they probably wouldn't do the jobs they do if they didn't have to earn a living. And only a handful are considered high status people by others in their chosen community.
