Hey everyone, I'm trying to find data about which college graduates end up earning the most after they graduate. I heard that the Wall Street Journal might have some stats on this. Does anyone know where I can find that specific article or data?
Hi there! The Wall Street Journal, in collaboration with Times Higher Education, indeed compiles and publishes an annual report detailing different parameters on college performance, which includes postgraduate earnings. However, these reports require a WSJ subscription to access.
Another reliable way to access this type of data is through the College Scorecard, a government resource developed by the U.S. Department of Education. The College Scorecard provides detailed information on factors like average earnings after graduation, graduation rates, and debt repayment rates. You do not need a subscription to access the information and can directly search by institution or by field of study, which could be highly beneficial resources in your college search.
Remember, while prospective earnings are an important factor to consider, they're not the only measure of a college's worth. It's crucial to find a school that matches your individual needs and growth potential.
