<p>Georgetown Uni. made a list of median wages for college majors, and engineering as usual is the highest.</p>
<p>It looks pretty accurate. To have a career in some of those areas though, you need an advanced degree, which changes things a bit.</p>
<p>Im a Biology and Anthropology major…wonder how much that’ll get me ?</p>
<p>Yay! I can do cool, interesting stuff that makes a difference AND make money!</p>
<p>yay, second!</p>
<p>I dunno why engineers make more than us though :(</p>
<p>EDIT: WHAT, MATH AND COMPUTER SCIENCE 98,000 MEDIAN!??!?!?</p>
<p>The Engineering portion is being helped a lot by Petroleum peeps… but that’s gonna end eventually. But… cuz its engineering, they’ll be something to take its place.</p>
<p>New Slogan Idea:</p>
<p>Humanities and the Liberal Arts, make more than a social worker!</p>
<p>Edit: I also like that the highest paid HU and LA degree is United States History. So we either pay a lot to hear about ourselves or we pay a lot to double check our history so we don’t look like dumbasses on TV…</p>
<p>Interesting article worth a look by anyone researching college majors</p>
<p>oh dear, here go again</p>
<p>^I thought it was actually more interesting than the others. Since the lower pertain of chart showed humanities major getting around or higher than the median national income.</p>
<p>Doesn’t Business include Finance? I always thought Finance led to guaranteed bank…</p>
<p>Here’s a discussion on this: [YouTube</a> - Which College Degrees Pay The Most?](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
<p>^^if you go to a top business school, and manage to get into investment banking then you’re gonna make more that an engineering degree in the long run.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lot of ‘ifs’ for something you can do with an engineering degree in the first place.</p>
<p>I would ignore anything which tries to claim the Civil Engineering is more employable than Computer Engineering.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can’t compare the top people of one major to the average people of another. Investment bankers make more than engineers. Don’t attribute investment banking to business majors.</p>
<p>It’s sad that education is almost at the bottom of the list. There’s a reason the United States is falling behind the rest of the world in public education.</p>

Or *we forget that lawyers exist, and that good portion of lawyers were history majors. Or it could be that *we also forget that one’s undergraduate degree does not determine one’s career, and that many history majors go on to become politicians, businesspersons, etc.</p>
<p>*By the collective ‘we’, I mean you specifically.</p>
<p>actually the study said that among humanities majors with a “TERMINAL bachelor’s degree” the highest earners were the US History majors. if *you don’t get my point, i’m saying that a person whose final degree is a bachelor’s in US history can not possibly be a lawyer.</p>
<p>by *you, I meant you specifically</p>
<p>Woodrow coming to my rescue!</p>
<p>yay for having no idea what people with Bachelor’s degrees do!</p>
<p>ignorance is bliss!</p>
<p>not caring is bliss</p>
