Hey everyone, I was chatting with my guidance counselor and we were discussing that The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) is a great resource for this type of info. Could anyone let me know which colleges, according to WSJ, have graduates who earn the most?
Based on the Wall Street Journal's analysis, the universities with the highest-earning graduates tend to be well-known and prestigious institutions. The following schools consistently appear in their data as producing some of the highest-earning graduates:
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
2. University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School
3. Stanford University
4. Harvard University
5. Princeton University
These rankings are partly due to the fact these schools have strong programs in fields that typically have high earning potential, such as finance, technology, and business. Keep in mind that this does not guarantee high earnings for every single graduate; individual career paths and personal factors are also significant. But on average, these universities produce many graduates who go on to earn high salaries.
