"Colleges That Pay You Back - 2015 Edition" (2015 publication; 463 pages) is from the same publisher (The Princeton Review) which brings a number of other college-search books, including the excellent "The Best 379 Colleges" (beware, that number changes yearly). So why the need for this new book? Two things that I can surmise: (1) the "Best Colleges" book, which originally started out at 250, is creeping towards 400 now, and in need of a trim, frankly; and (2) given the cost of attending college, it has become more paramount than ever for colleges to demonstrate that going there is a good "bang-for-the-buck" or "return on investment".The book opens with a number of handy lists bringing us "Great Schools for the Highest Paying Majors" (looks like any kind of engineering major is the way to go, but in particular Petroleum Engineering, with its eye-popping median starting salary of $103,000). Other fun lists include the Top 50 Colleges That Pay back, Best Schools for Internships, etc. After that we get the School Profiles, and if you are familiar with the "Best Colleges" book, it will immediately look very familiar. Each school gets 2 pages, divided into several charts, data and subject matters. I carefully looked at the entries of a couple of schools that appear in both the "Best Colleges" and this new book, and what I found was that the popular "Survey Says" segment from the "Best Colleges" book is no longer, but instead we get the all-important "Career Information from Payscale.
