Beyond an economics study, to me it's more interesting to find average starting salaries and then the potential for overachievers. Many industries have a relatively flat range with a minority of exceptions for tenure or mastery. Other industries - often young or heavily tied to consumerism - look more like the Alps on crack.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
