Big Green Alums Rolling in Green

dartmouthdfresh.jpg
Education, shmeducation—where should you go to school if you want to get paid? The answer, according to Forbes, is Dartmouth College! The average Big Green alum makes $134,000 annually 10 to 20 years out of school, edging out Princeton grads, who take home $131,000. Clearly, Forbes forgot to survey this writer, a Dartmouth alum who barely gets his subway fare and milk money paid for by Radar.

The top 10 follows:

1) Dartmouth ($134,000)
2) Princeton ($131,000)
3) Stanford ($129,000)
4) Yale ($126,000)
4) (tie) MIT ($126,000)
6) Harvard ($124,000)
7) UPenn ($120,000)
8) Notre Dame ($116,000)
9) Polytechnic University of NY, Brooklyn ($114,000)
9) Worcester Polytechnic Institute ($114,000)

Anyone who tells you it doesn't matter that you went to public school is lying: UC Berkeley is the only public university to crack the top 20. [Via Ivygate]

Okay Neel, well, when it's 2013 (me) and 2015 (you) then we can complain to Forbes that our education has borne us nothing in the past decade but empty pockets and some media jobs. Till then, you're three years out of school, kid. And yes, I still get to call you that.
