Anyone considering going to college could find use in a new tool available online, which can reveal the colleges that produce workers with the highest income after attendance.
The tool can rank colleges based on how important certain aspects of a college are to a user, such as campus safety, economic mobility, diversity, and athletics. However, if one is interested in solely one topic, such as which colleges have the highest median income following 10 years after attendance, the tool, created by the New York Times, will calculate the answer in a matter of seconds.
