I know everyone is aware that UF topped the list of party schools this year but a more important ranking came out, the schools whose graduates make the most money. I just thought I would post some of the results...
| Colleges | Starting Median Salary | Mid-Career Median Salary |
| University of Florida (UF) | $47,100 | $87,900 |
| Florida State University (FSU) | $42,100 | $73,000 |
| Auburn University | $45,400 | $84,700 |
| Middlebury College | $47,700 | $94,200 |
| Colgate University | $52,800 | $108,000 |
Here is the link, in case you want to check it out. Alex, do not worry you beat Alabama.

Unfortunately too many people from Middlebury go right into graduate school or into AmeriCorps and that crap. So it isn't exactly a great indicator.
I think salaries overall tend to be lower in Alabama when compared to the Northeast and Florida. Alabama is not exactly know for its wealth.
For further analysis, maybe we should compare this Auburn graduate's salary with the graduates from the other schools. ;)
By the way Drew, I would expect to have a better starting salary than a Bama grad considering it is a mild step up from a high school degree.
These are just for undergraduate degrees. Considering a lot of us have gone on to further education and certification it doesn't really apply.
Plus the measure of a man's wealth is not in dollars and cents, but in friends. So we are all equally wealthy... :P
Very nice, Jae! I tend to agree with you.
I agree...plus FSU is being dragged down by teachers:)
