It seems that the top universities deliver on their promises and that a top education very nearly guarantees a successful career and high salary. Princeton graduates, for example, earn $130,000 (median salary at mid-career), while Coker College alumni make about one third of that, or $43,400, according to PayScale’s 2011 – 2012 College Salary Report. The report looked at salaries earned by alumni of 1,003 of America’s most prominent colleges. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed PayScale’s report to identify the ten schools that offer the diplomas with the highest-earning potential, paying special attention to where they excel.

Two categories of schools dominate the list of colleges whose graduates end up with highest-paying jobs. The first category is the Ivy Leagues. The top ten colleges with the highest mid-career salaries for their alumni includes Dartmouth, Harvard and Princeton. These schools offer top-tier education and have continually produced world leaders in business, politics and more. Perhaps more important, the Ivies have closely-knit networks of successful alumni. Not only does a Harvard grad have the benefit of a Harvard education, but the benefit of Harvard connections with countless future employers.

When New York became the latest state to allow same-sex marriage this summer, thousands rejoiced and thousands did not. But a few town clerks were suddenly faced with an inescapable moral and legal dilemma: They were opposed to gay marriage, but their job now required that they authorize them.
