Great point Helen. It also failed to look at cost-of-living adjusted salaries.

A new survey <http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/top-party-colleges.asp> finds that UF lags behind several other universities deemed to be party schools in the earning potential of graduates. While the Princeton Review ranks UF as nation <http://www.gainesville.com/article/20080729/NEWS/386204299> 's top party school, the survey places the income of Gator grads behind five other schools on the same list. UF graduates with bachelor's degrees earn average starting salaries of $47,300 and mid-career slaries of $88,400, according to the survey. PayScale, a Web site that collects salary data, put together the information. The numbers come from 1.2 million site users who reported their education and salary information over the past year, according to the New York Times <http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/20/do-elite-colleges-produce-the- best-paid-graduates/> . The list of party schools ranked according to median mid-career salaries is below. Check out the site for the full rankings <http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/top-us-colleges-graduate-salary-stati stics.asp> , which place UF behind several other state schools.
