Good point

I know someone that researched business schools for his child, and found that Santa Clara had the best placement in Silicon Valley over any school, including Stanford.

These numbers don't account for COL right? if all Stand-ford grads stay in SF area, of course the salary is higher

how about cost of crime? I hear San francisco doesn't police anymore

Cougarclaw

7/27/21 3:37pm

Why would grads need to stay in SF? Do BYU grads stay in the Provo area?

Cougstreak

7/27/21 3:39pm

Yes, a lot of them do in both cases.

DrYfire

Uh, some but not all.

Cougstreak

No one said all

DrYfire

7/27/21 10:30pm

Then tough to comp these numbers. Need to look at locations. More interesting study..

Cougstreak

7/27/21 10:36pm

You're right, Utah county is clear full of Stanford grads and Silicon Valley

DrYfire

Huh? You know grads of either can go anywhere, right?

Factor in cost of living and boom! we’re likely top 2

7/27/21 12:53pm

Except a lot of grads and high earning grads are also out of state too, right?

Cougar8Duck

7/27/21 1:06pm

Yep, the analysis of pay versus where you work would be a pain. But if you could do it I am sure we’d look dang good.

Trent

Might have been true a year ago.

Good point. Ugh

Better be living somewhere other than Palo Alto with that salary

Unibro

Since this is the calculated average 15 years later, this must be the AP top 25

A Princeton professor debunked this myth years ago...

I'd heard this too, but it is still nice to be on their misleading salary sheet.

It’s hard to believe that employers don’t offer higher salaries to Stanford grad

Except Stanford basically pays your tuition unless your parents make a lot.

And these ivy-type universities cater to extrovert personalities who are great

I love to see Utah no where on this list

There's a reason for that - they're right next to Stanford - doesn't help their

Regal Ute

There's a reason for that — Utah wasn't ranked in the top 25.

Pfft. I had no idea it was so close. That’s pretty good for BYU.

Just that we were all doing about the same job but they were making 20-30k

Punk Philosopher

Also let me put it this way - think of Phyllis Vance and Stanley Hudson

Punk Philosopher

Just meant thanks for the details. Maybe a poor choice of words.

Ah i am guessing you meant to say “color commentary”?

That’s for your average Stanford student though. An athlete isn’t your average
