WSJ Your Money Briefing · New Data: Which College Graduates Make the Most? · 21 Nov 2019 podcast

For example, with medical and dental schools, everyone goes and does residency at medical school. voice-verified

And at a lot of dental schools, a lot of students do it. voice-verified

So they're worried that it will confuse students. voice-verified

But the Trump administration's belief is that instead of overregulation, as they would view it, that the release of this information will allow consumers to make better choices and not attend programs that they don't feel are going to be worth their debt. voice-verified

What we looked at are debt-to-income ratios. voice-verified

And general experts say you should keep your debt lower than your income. voice-verified

So borrow less money than you make in a year. voice-verified

Now, at for-profit schools, those debt-to-income ratios were generally higher, generally surpassed that threshold more often than they did at public schools and nonprofit schools. voice-verified

And this is an ongoing, long debated issue. voice-verified

The Obama administration particularly focused on for-profit colleges and programs there, whether or not they were going to provide gainful employment. voice-verified

And the Trump administration has rolled back some of those rules and is focused more on transparency efforts. voice-verified

Yeah, there's a lot of interesting stuff in this data. voice-verified

Just as it's surprising to find out, wow, here are some people who went to Columbia and are only making $19,000 a year, we found that students who went to Bismarck State and studied business were making over $100,000 a year right out of college. voice-verified

And and so I think in addition to people finding data that kind of freaks them out a little bit, there's a lot of very expensive arts programs at elite colleges where, you know, I think people have long known that arts majors and English majors are going to make less than math majors. voice-verified

But actually having a number to put on it is really powerful. voice-verified

especially when your parents and you are borrowing tens of thousands of dollars to go to some of these schools like NYU or USC are very expensive. voice-verified

One of the schools that we highlighted in our data was a master's degree program at the University of Southern California with a really high debt-to-income ratio. voice-verified

Students in theater arts owed $100,000 at graduation, but were earning just $30,000 yearly. voice-verified

That said, the flip side of that is Bismarck state business majors, MIT math majors where student loans are incredibly low. voice-verified

And so you can find a lot of great opportunities for payoff. voice-verified
