UC San Diego grads are bringing home the bacon. In the PayScale College Salary Report, UCSD ranked 8th in salary potential for bachelor's degree graduates of state schools.
PayScale, a web site that charts salary trends and data, reviewed more than 1,000 colleges and universities. Salary data for advanced degree graduates was not included in the survey.
The typical starting salary for UC San Diego graduates with two years of experience is $48,200; mid-career professionals with a UC San Diego bachelor’s degree and 15 years of experience typically make $96,700 annually, according to PayScale.
UC San Diego noted that nearly 40 percent of the university’s undergraduate students directly pursue graduate and/or professional degrees after graduating. In addition, it reported that 40 percent of the university’s alumni (about 56,550) live in San Diego County, contributing income, payroll, property and sales taxes to the region.
從聖地牙哥加州大學（UCSD）畢業的學生掙錢前景優於其他許多學校。專門蒐集並分析研究工薪資訊的網站「PayScale」已將該校畢業生「掙工資潛力」（Salary Potential）列為全國第八。
網站調查，UCSD本科畢業生凡有兩年工作經驗者，普遍能有4萬8200元的年薪；有15年經驗者年收入則為9萬6700元。
在2011年，UCSD頒授8161份畢業文憑。該校歷年的畢業校友（約有14萬1000人）有40%仍住在聖地牙哥。他們與該校教職員工在當地創辦646家公司，包括不少成功的生物技術企業，為發展地方經濟、提供就業機會作出很大貢獻。
UCSD的校友事務主任阿爾明‧阿弗薩希（Armin Afsahi）樂見「PayScale」網站的這一評鑑，他表示，學校的學術成就相當突出，不但始終居於領先地位，而且對學生未來的生涯規畫有很大助益。
