You don’t enter the nonprofit sector to make money for yourself. Take Yale, for example, While the school continues to rank #1 in the nonprofit sector according to U.S. News, that renown doesn’t translate to bigger paychecks. Yale nonprofit grads made just $78,978 in their first year. In fact, their average is actually lower than the lowest-paid nonprofit grads at Duke (Fuqua), Wharton, and Harvard. Overall, you’ll find the highest pay in this sector at MIT (Sloan), where grads made $111,833 on average. Ironically, Stanford featured grads with both the lowest ($18,000) and highest ($175,000) salaries in the nonprofit space.
