关于美国大学毕业生的薪水

　　在留学申请选择学校的过程中，毕业之后的薪水是所有留学生和家长们非常关心的数据。尤其是在美国大学全面开放的今天，面对不菲的留学费用，大多数去美国留学的孩子和家长们选择学校时，毕业之后的薪水情况是非常重要的参考标准。相信在很多国人的眼中，学校排名和薪水水平绝对是正相关的。但是前些天看到Pay Scale的一项关于美国大学毕业生毕业收入排行榜，着实让我吃了一惊。像纽约理工，史蒂文斯理工这种国人眼中毫不起眼，甚至是AD狂，烂校的学校，居然排进了top 13。于是把这些数据贴出来，给大家看一下。希望大家在选校时可以考虑的更加全面一些。而不是盲目迷信USNEWS的所谓权威排名。

　　不过，同时也想提醒大家，也不要盲目迷信Pay Scale这个数据。如果仔细分析一下上述数据，需要注意两点，第一这个统计是本科毕业生的，第二数据中很大的组成部分肯定是美国本土毕业生。基于这两点，大家就应该明白，这个数据对于咱们中国学生不太适用的。所以还是跟大家强调一下，各种排名是死的，只是用来参考的。咱们在留学申请选择学校的过程中，要全面根据自己的申请需求，职业目标等因素进行学校选择。
