I think a lot of it has to do with entry standards and the degrees people get. Lamar graduates a lot of engineers who make lots of money.

That's bullshit and simply untrue.  I'm about to get an MBA and yet, I qualify for food stamps.  Our economy sucks, and Obama may go down as the worst president in U.S. history.  He promised college graduates jobs in his bid for the presidency, but he lied and our country is becoming one of socialism and maybe even communism, in the near future.

Think before you vote.

I like where LU ranks on this list but it appears that Rice is conspicuously missing from this list and I don't see UH either.  Would like to know where Rice ranks.

No surprises here.  LU is in the top half because they produce a lot of engineers, especially chemical engineers.
