Top Colleges That Produce The Highest-Earning Grads

[Honor24/7]

Has anyone seen this recent article on Forbes.com -
https://www3.forbes.com/business/top-colleges-that-produce-the-highest-earning-grads/25/
The article lists 78K as early-year pay and 126K as a mid-year career pay for USNA Graduates. It ranks USNA as #2 in the Nation for producing top earning grads. Very impressive!
Can anyone comment on the accuracy of this information?

Thank you

Last year when Forbes released the highest earning grads data I was told that the early career pay was based on the average starting salary of Navy grads for their first civilian job after their 5 year commitment. Given that Navy grads have 5 years of professional life experience at that point in their life the data is a little misleading. However, there are some warfare communities, such as submarines, where a Navy grad could be making at or above 78k immediately after graduation. Nevertheless, Midshipmen will make pretty good salaries right after graduation no matter what service they select.
