Gender

Locations

Infamous for its meager salaries (average pay is the lowest at $49K), more than half of Butler students still call Indianapolis, Ind. their home after graduation. Alternatively, Houston, Texas is home to some of the highest salaries — median pay is $95K — which is an (obvious) draw for many Butler grads.

Skills

For former Bulldogs, proficiency in Budget Management warrants a paycheck that is 4 percent more than other alumni salaries. Butler alumni are often well versed in Budget Management, with approximately one-seventh of grads ending up in jobs that require this skillset. Experience with Training, Microsoft Excel, and Data Analysis is highly valued as well.

Benefits and Perks

Paid vacation days are a given for more than half of survey participants, but only one in three grads are rewarded with paid sick leave. It is no small feat that a strong majority of alums are given health coverage, and a fair number of survey participants accept dental insurance. In an effort to save up for the years ahead, a fair number of grads contribute to a 401(k). Other benefits awarded to Butler University alumni include life insurance, a casual working environment, a company-subsidized cell phone, and free drinks.
