[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dale & Krueger's articles are both pretty dated now too. I'm surprised they are still brought up so much, especially since their fairly myopic focus on income has be questioned (rightfully so, I'd say).
The high earning fields and majors selected by students are completely different now. We've also had economic uncertainty, which would make an update interesting to read.

For those of you with girls, the second look at the Dale & Krueger data did also show a significant difference for women. Attending a school with a 100-point higher average SAT score increased earnings by 14 percent and reduced marriage by 4 percent.
For low income kids, the chance to become 1%s is also better at elite colleges.

There's no reason to believe the numbers would be any different now than they were 12 years ago, and the "myopic focus on income" is exactly why their research is totally relevant to the ranking that began this thread.

Also, you neglected to mention that the 14 percent bump for women is an average over a decade and that it was found to be due to more hours worked, not higher salaries.[/quote]
