Top Colleges for Getting Rich

Check out yesterday's Forbes.com article entitled "Top Colleges for Getting Rich".

WPI was ranked #9 in the country!! While the college experience is about so much more, the article and rankings demonstrate that WPI is a great investment for one's future. The article doesn't actually focus on starting salaries for graduates, but instead looks at earning potential later in life. The rankings are based on the pay of alumni with 10 to 20 years work experience.

WPI alumni (in the 10 to 20 year bracket) came in with a median salary of $114,000 to earn us the #9 ranking on the list.

Best of luck in LA Manny....
