California College’s Salary Potential

August 29, 2011

Lori showed me this link on the University of the Pacific web site.

In there, UOP (Pacific) states that Payscale.com has ranked Pacific graduates as #5 in salary potential among tons of California universities. We (I say, we, because Kristen goes to UOP) even beat Berzerkely and Cal Poly! I’m shocked….really, I am.

Pretty cool. (Go here for some virtual tours and pics of some local colleges).

Here are the Top 20. Go here to see the complete list.
