Congrats, Auburn grads—according to the 2012-2013 PayScale College Salary Report, most of you are sittin’ pretty.

Auburn ranks 182 out of 1,248 colleges and universities in educational ROI (Return On Investment). According to the report at PayScale.com, the average starting salary for Auburn graduates is $42,000 with mid-career salaries averaging $84,900—nearly $10,000 more than Bama grads. That figure is good enough for third place among SEC schools. Only Texas A&M and Vanderbilt graduates average more.

You’d think that having the highest paid CEO in America in the mix would have us at No. 1 across the board, but still, we’ll take it.
