I keep seeing how recent graduates of top schools command very high salaries, and I wonder, has any company done a large scale study comparing the performance of graduates from different 'tier' schools? What about the performance after a number of years?

I am really curious to see the difference in performance between two fresh graduates of different schools, and the difference after 2,5,10 years experience.

It seems like by the time they get done working, it's the next day, and then the next, and the next. What is their hourly pay when you break it all down and how much does rent/mortgage cost? Imho, it's not worth it to command that pay if all you are is a wage slave.
