CE vs CS vs Finance/Accounting? Highest earning potential?

Which has the highest earning potential?

Try Google.

Yeah google only shows median. I’m interested in the career that it’s possible to get a big pay out. For example, developing a successful app in CS or CE or building something. In Finance, become a partner or get into Investment banking, etc. But it takes a long time to become a partner.

I can only offer a few possible answers to your question -

  1. Both can make you a billionaire. In fact, dropping out of school while studying either can make you a billionaire.
  2. Mint chocolate chip.
  3. Buy a lottery ticket. You will know friday night if you are a millionaire.

(not trying to pick on you, but this question is just about impossible to answer if all you want to know if the maximum)

This depends on you and not on the major. I know a CS major that became successful manager earned hundreds of millions. I only found out how much he earned because he was on the newspaper.

@DecideSomeHow Mint chocolate chips?

@JakeSill, it’s a response to a question that has no answer, like what’s the best engineering degree or what’s the hardest engineering degree, or in your case, what degree will make me a bazillionare. For me, chocolate chip cookie dough.
