Remember Graduation? So young, you had the whole world out there…just waiting for you to conquer it. And why wouldn’t you? You had your college degree and that has to be worth something, right?
Leave to the economists over at Business Week to take that youthful optimism and slap a numbered scale on it.

By combing through data culled from over 500 colleges over the past 30 years, Business Week analyzed the ROI of graduates. More specifically, BW looked at how much graduates earned (minus the cost of the degree) and the answers may surprise you.
