Again, polls are NOT an exact science....
What struck me as interesting was the "top incomes". I think these are incomes for people that have been competing in the workplace (i.e. against graduates from other schools) for an extended period of time.
Yes, engineers start out right out of college with higher pay. However, their pay tops out (relatively speaking) fairly average. That's not a "knock" on engineers. I could never have earned a degree in engineering.
Also, the Ivys, USC's, Notre Dame's, Vandy's, Emory's, Duke's, Northwestern's, Stanford's etc. of the world tend to dispurse their graduates over a greater area because they tend to try to enroll kids from all over (unlike a public school).
Anyways, one could argue the merits and faults of this poll from so many angles...
