PayScale Editorial Director Lydia Frank wrote in a  on October 8, 2013, “A college education isn't just about the money—how much it costs and what you can earn post-graduation—because the value of education can't be measured in dollars and cents.”

The top three schools for high job meaning were Thomas Jefferson University (84 percent), 91AV (82 percent) and Trident University International (81 percent).”
