Thanks.  Graphics are nice, but I like to see where the numbers come
from and are the numbers current?  Looks good so far:

The Wall Street Journal now published an annual survey of colleges,
rating then on how long it takes for the added earnings to pay for the
cost of the schooling received.  Turns out that there are some good

Thanks.  Looks like WSJ is ranking colleges by more metrics than just
the return on investment of a college education:

I graduated from California State Polytechnic University Pomona, which
is #21 on the list:

However, judging a return on investment was a problem for me.  I
graduated in June 1971, just after the end of the space race and in
time for the collapse of the aerospace sector.  I ended up fixing
2-way radios and odd jobs for a few years until the industry
recovered.
