[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it that low? Here’s a link to the study:

Some other takeaways:

1.  UPenn graduates earn the most ($91,800/year at age 34), while Brown graduates earn the least ($66,900 at the same age).

2.  The gender gap still exists, with males earning $110,200 and females $76,400 (I believe this is for UPenn, but the article is not very clear on this).

3.  The article was from 2017 but says it was last updated in March 2021. So it’s possible those were the salaries in 2017, but even then, I would’ve thought they would be higher.

What do you think? Maybe we in the DC area have an unrealistic idea of salaries nationwide, but I was still surprised to read that graduates of the most prestigious university in the country can only muster a salary of $81,500 more than a decade after graduation.[/quote]

"Average" would include non-working trust fund kids with no salary.  [/quote]

Yep—It also includes who are pursuing second incomes or passion careers. My sibling went to hyp and earns probably 80k in academia but the spouse is a big law partner. [/quote]

She got her MRS degree -- having an Ivy degree gave her the pedigree to attract the Big Law partner (assuming they didn't even meet there)[/quote]

Men don't care where a women went to school sweetie  [/quote]

Men do care about where a woman went to school. Some of us want our kids to be smart and continue our legacy.
But looks and others factors (like how good she is in bed) may be as important or more important to most men.
