Dartmouth Recruiters Will Love This

A regular sent along a link to a Wall Street Journal story under the headline:

Ivy Leaguers' Big Edge: Starting Pay

The lede of the story: "Where people go to college can make a big difference in starting pay, and that difference is largely sustained into midcareer, according to a large study of global compensation.

Now the part of the story Dartmouth recruiters will love:

...(M)ore Ivy League graduates go into finance roles than graduates of other schools, and employers pay a premium for them, says Peter Cappelli, a professor of management and director of the Center for Human Resources at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. "Dartmouth kids get paid more for the same job than kids from Rutgers are [doing]," he says.

Which school pays off the most? According to the survey, graduates of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League college, earn the highest median salary -- $134,000.

I knew I should have gone to Dartmouth ;-)
