[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"While a male graduate of a Tier 1 college with a graduate degree from a Tier 1 to 3 school earns on average $185,695 a year, a Tier 4 college graduate with a higher-tier graduate degree earns only $133,236. " Oh no! Only $133,236 per year! I haven't read the working paper, only the NYT piece, so maybe the author controlled for confounding variables, but based only on the NYT piece, this working paper is social-scientific junk -- unless it's intended to show that kids with affluent, well-educated parents grow up to earn more money. In that case, it's social-scientific obviousness.[/quote] +1 Apparently Dr. Hersch has never heard of Bourdieu? Doesn't make me think very highly of the rigor of Vanderbilt University if the professors are so obtuse and author such poorly constructed papers. This thing would never pass peer review.[/quote]
