[quote=Anonymous]LACs are a poor return on investment. There are plenty of data sources on this. Take a look at the salary yardstick here: https://www.kiplinger.com/tool/college/T014-S001-kiplinger-s-best-values-in-private-colleges/index.php?table=all Powerhouse LACs like Williams, Swarthmore, and Pomona (what I consider the top 3) have around 55K salaries 10 years after graduation! The Ivies are usually above 70K. UVA/Berkeley/Ann Arbor are at 60K. Georgetown is at a whopping 90K. Another source is https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/college-mobility/williams-college Median income at age 34: UVA- $71,200 UC Berkeley- $67,900 UM Ann Arbor- $68,700 Williams- $62,600 Swarthmore- $56,700 Pomona- $62,000 So sure, you might have a great experience for four years, but is it really paying some grand dividend for the rest of your life? I don't get it.[/quote]
