PayScale College ROI Rankings for 2015
One interesting way to measure the value of a college education is to consider return on investment. PayScale does this by comparing the salary of graduates (return) to the cost of attendance (investment) at each school it tracks.
Here's the recently released 2015 rankings. We'd focus less on the rankings themselves and more on the relative returns by major/career since it will give you a sense for where your interests can lead. It comes as no surprise that schools strong in technology fare the best.
