[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people complaining have DCs that went to a school that didn't make the list. This is the most impartial data available on the web. [/quote]

The most impartial data on the web is found in bios on LinkedIn and on company websites. Look there and you'll see that, for the same position, those with degrees from less selective colleges far outnumber those with degrees from elite colleges. The path to success is paved by the individual, not the college.[/quote]
Uh LinkedIn bios don't tell you how much someone makes. The salary clearly tells you how much a certain graduate is worth and its those 40 top schools are worth more than the other. [/quote]

What reason do you have to believe that people doing the exact same job would be making more just because they went to an elite college? Do you really believe Harvard and CalTech grads doing the same work as BC and Northwestern grads are being paid twice as much just because of the college listed on their diploma?

The reason graduates of colleges at the top of the list are making more than those at the bottom of the list is because those at the top get a higher percentage of really smart and ambitious high school students than those at the bottom (or in some cases, because they went to school in a wealthier area and decided to settle down near there), not because the education they're offering is significantly stronger.
