I seem to remember being given placement and salary statistics when starting out in engineering.


I got statistics too, starting out in engineering. But based on the surveys I’ve participated in since graduating, I’m suspicious of their methodology...

Basically there’s no incentive for their studies to be scientific, and I don’t think they are. Their most-touted metric was “ROI”, which is super vague and highly dependent on in-field job placement, which was measured in a highly suspect way at my school.
