The salary info is for those who graduate 10-19 years earlier...wtf, that's borderline irrelevant.
They should include std dev and kurtosis as well.
Also, how do they collect this data? My guess is it's survey-based and totally self-reported. They could change the article title to "Colleges that will make you lie about your net income in 10-19 years."
The results are skewed.
The majority of schools on the list are from unknowns from California. Obviously, most of the students from those schools will stay in CA and become a regular old public servant (virtually all public servant positions you can expect $100K+ salary in 10-20 years w/ a college degree) at the minimum. They are going to have a higher median income then a U of I (as alot of those kids will stay in the Midwest).
Despite agreeing with everyone that the data is absolutely irrelevant, I have to say that I am not surprised about the number of relatively small colleges. My undergrad institution was a non-target school for banking and consulting as well, but placed big emphasis on entrepreneurship. This lead to many of my peers starting their own businesses as sophomores/juniors and then making very large sums of money by they graduated. Prolly should've gone down that route as well...
