[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

if you stay in the workforce longer during your prime working years, you are almost definitely getting paid more. The elite college female grads keep working and moving up. That is a pretty big difference and the outcome is what ultimately matters right? The same is also true for mobility to the very top (though I totally get not everyone is striving to be in the 1%).[/quote]

It would also be very interesting to compare the grads by HHI over time rather than just individual income. There are many couples where both people attended top schools (the same or different) and that can influence the career decisions of at least one of them. This is the case with a lot of DC couples my age.  [/quote]
