Pretty interesting, and I think it highlights the problem with traditional college rankings. I was surprised to see Babson at #7, but my surprise was mostly because I'm not used to seeing Babson ranked so high on other rankings. So it creates a self-reinforcing cycle in a way... but I didn't have any concrete reason to believe Babson can't be top 10 for developing a strong career. Anyways, thoughts?

lol such a random dumb list
Why is it random and dumb
First of all, what does “Best Careers” actually mean? The answer can vary greatly from person to person. Someone might build a successful restaurant chain or plumbing business and reach a net worth in the millions by their 30s. Another person might become the best teacher in their county while earning a median income but struggle to afford a hourse. Do both of those count as “best careers”? It depends on how you define success.
Secondly, is this list referring only to undergraduate paths, or does it also include graduate-level careers? A “best career” does not necessarily mean the highest income or the greatest financial success. For some people, financial success is everything—but it doesn’t have to attribute from attending the school from this list.

Maybe Chicago just isn't the best place for career, which is totally ok

Never heard of Bentley either but seems to be a business-focused school like Babson

I have never heard of Bentley University.
Not like I know everything.
Has anyone here not from MA heard of it?

Agreed, Duke needs to pick between sports and school, it can't do both!
