【排名解析】美国大学本科毕业生薪酬排名 普林斯顿登首位（转载）
2012-2013美国大学本科毕业生薪酬报告有以下几个特点：
1.只限本科毕业生：薪酬报告是以美国大学本科毕业生为研究基础的，不包含任何有关研究生薪水的数据。
2.只限在美国工作：此报告只是对在美国读大学，毕业后在美国工作的本科生薪水的调查。
3.全职普通工作：工作是全职的，普通老百姓的工作(不是服军役什么的)。自己创业的、合同工均不在研究范畴内。比如小说家、自由作家、或者自己开公司的、接项目做的、合同工都没有包含在内。
定义:
薪水：包括基本工资、福利、奖金、小费、利润分红、以及其他现金收入。不包含股票。
职业初期薪水：工作年限五年之内平均工资(这份报告的对象典型为年龄25岁左右，2年工作经验)
职业中期薪水：至少工作了10年以上。(这份报告的对象，典型为年龄42岁左右，有15年工作经验。)
工作有意义:这是基于调查对象如何回答“你的工作让世界更好吗?”而得到的比例。回答“是的”就被定义为认为自己的工作有意义。
从下表可以看出，普林斯顿大学的本科毕业生薪酬最高。
