Northwestern University is top for employability Eugene Moerman

Nine months after graduating, 94% of its 2013 graduates (284 of them in total) were employed and were earning a median salary of US$160,000. The University of California at Berkeley came second, with figures just below Northwestern's, according to the Princeton Review ranking. Commenting on the results, Forbes says: ‘If you are considering law school, shoot for the top tier. A degree from these schools virtually guarantees that you will land a well-paying job, though it’s likely you will also be carrying debts of more than $100,000.’ Source: Forbes
