List needs to be revised. It should be "Tier 1 - 4 year schools" to really see who is educated. I'd estimate NY, Boston, Seattle, SF - literally destroy the competition then.
A state flagship, a well-known private school in that respective state, or Ivy (obviously).
Not something like Eastern Tennessee State University, Wisconsin Stevens Point, or any 2-year degree. Those are basically the same.
What are you on exactly? Because clearly you have no insight into the topic whatsoever. I'm sure the medical school graduates from ETSU and Speech Pathology grads from UW-SP would love to hear more.
I've also noticed overcorrection in anyone with a degree from a lesser-known school, or community college graduates. They are very judgmental. They know their school isn't well-known (people actually have to google it) or respected outside their respective county. While they are real schools, and probably quite good in some aspects, they are seen as tantamount (at the very least - within very few standard deviations) to an online school.
For example, had it been said...Tier 1 degrees, really aren't that impressive - unless Ivy League, someone who graduated from a Big10/Pac10/Big12, etc school would not care.
I believe that, in terms of bachelors' degrees, I once saw Seattle at the top of the list. I believe it, and many are underemployed. Adjacent to it, Boston and Washington DC were high.
Surprisingly low on the list were Los Angeles and Houston.
I wish I could find the list. It was different from kyle's.

Thank you for your useless opinion.

Exactly. These schools give you a good education and plenty have programs that are ranked higher than schools that are ranked higher.
They very well may be better in some aspects. Not the point. Had either of you gone to a "known" school that society has actually heard of (any state flagship or well-known private school) there would be absolutely no anger.
There is always a fervent defense of degrees from relatively unknown or "compass schools" by those who attended them. Same with online.

Who has appointed you judge and jury? You seem to be on a roll. Leave people alone, and quit telling them that their school isn't good enough. Seriously, who are you to judge? An opinion is one thing, but you don't respect any one else's opinion. You'll be on ignore soon, and you're just the reason I'm tired of this forum.
PLEASE, MODERATORS, BAN ME...I AM SICK OF BULLIES AND KNOW-IT-ALLS!!!!!

Oh, wow, thank you for not only telling me how I feel and what I think, but also where I went to school.
There is a definite overcompensation that people have who went to lesser-known schools. That's not saying the school is bad itself. It's not well-known and that causes an overcompensation in "proving" the school to everyone.
The point I was making in relation to this study was the amount of Ivy League/State Flagship/well-known private schools, and which cities have the highest amount of graduates from such schools.

There is also a definite overcompensation for many of those that have gone to more elite schools in terms of constant reminders of their earth-shattering achievement.....Beyond that your point is useless within the thread and besides that how would anyone track such data? Furthermore who the heck cares where they wind up?
This map, like so many others, compares vastly different metropolitan areas. For example, Bridgeport, Conn. is not a particularly educated city, but its numbers are increased by the inclusion of the Connecticut Gold Coast (places like Greenwich and Westport) which are extremely affluent and well-educated, but many, if not most, work in Manhattan, not Bridgeport. On the other hand, New York is comparatively underrepresented because its metro area is so enormous (although it still does pretty well).
The point of these maps is not to quibble about the literal rankings, but to look a the broader trends. For example, the difference between Minneapolis and Phoenix. That's a stark difference.
