Screw Harvard — if you want to be a top earner in your chosen field, just go to college in The Bronx, a new study shows.Just a reminder.
Humble Manhattan College in Riverdale and unassuming SUNY Maritime College in Throggs Neck surpass all eight Ivy League schools at catapulting students toward financial success, according to numbers- crunchers at the Brookings Institution.
Students at the two Bronx schools make much greater leaps in earning power than those at more renowned institutions such as Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth, giving them a higher ranking than all the Ivies — and nearly all of the 7,000 two- and four-year institutions — included in the study.
Students at tiny 1,400-student Maritime will typically rake in a hefty $121,700 10 years after they graduate, according to the non-profit Washington think tank.
