I was able to find this site that compares average income by where students went to college.
CSU Stanislaus: $47,000 (early career), $90,300 (mid career)
MIT: $81,500 (early career), $147,000 (mid career)
Early career is 0-5 years experience.
Mid career is 10+ years experience.

Obviously, we can't say that prestige of college and income are causal but the correlation is definitely there.
- nradov 8y agoIn order to establish some degree of causality we would have to look only at the population of students accepted to both schools. That way you're starting from a comparable baseline.
- diablerouge 8y agoAlso you'd have to control for major. MIT produces a lot of people working in technical fields with a higher average income. Cal State awards a broader range of degrees.

- madengr 8y agoMeh, I’m making more at mid career than the equivalent MIT grad, and I went to a flyover state university. Don’t sweat it. Just get good at what you like to do and the money will come naturally.
