[barrons]

<p>Some 2 yr and cert programs pay very well. Some (many?) 4 yr degrees not so much. Lots of info but only for a few states.</p>

<p>Note that the article cautions about lumping all STEM majors together in terms of career prospects.</p>

@the article page 37

Prospective students who are bombarded by the rhetoric invoking the critical importance of STEM education might assume that majoring in any STEM field will lead to higher earnings. Yet the objective earnings data show that in each state and at each level of postsecondary credential, graduates with degrees in Biology—the field with the largest number of science graduates—earn no more than graduates with degrees in Sociology or Psychology. Chemistry graduates are fewer in number and often their earnings data are insufficient to report. However, when data are available, they show that graduates with degrees in Chemistry usually experience slightly higher earnings than graduates with degrees in Biology but lower earnings than graduates in TEM fields of study.
