BANGALORE: Obtaining a college degree is an absolute must, however high college costs really high.  But finding a good-paying job after graduation is more important than ever. Not all university degrees are created equal. The amount of money that your degree will end up being worth to you depends on various factors, including your area of study and the university from which you graduated. However, a degree that is the most lucrative immediately after college may not be the most lucrative 20 years later.

Let’s have a look at some of the best colleges that can fetch you high salaried jobs:

1. Harvey Mudd College

A small, private school located in California, Harvey Mudd College has an undergraduate population of fewer than 800. Despite its heavy tilt toward degrees in engineering, mathematics, and science, the school's percentage of female enrollees stands at 42 percent. Much of that gender diversity is due to President Maria Klawe, who has worked since 2006 to bring more women into the sciences at Harvey Mudd.

Graduates starting their working lives with approximately two years of experience can expect to earn $75,600 annually, which will bloom into a yearly salary of a $133,800 by mid-career or, about 10 years into the employee's work life.
