Facebook and LinkedIn definitely have good data about college education and employment outcomes. I really wish they would just compete head on with USNews for college rankings.

For example, I'd love to see income distributions by university/major. The universities themselves cannot be trusted to provide it in any accurate fashion[1], but mining it from a large sample of graduates would be much better and less biased.
