<p>Here it is: Best</a> Undergrad College Degrees By Salary</p>
<p>Looks about riight - makes you want to be an engineer huh! Note - this table only reflects undergrads. A lot of the liberal arts amjors will need to go to grad school for a “decent” job.</p>

<p>I beg to differ about grad school for decent job part. </p>
<p>Employers value work experience more than anything else; having a masters or postgrad degree in a liberal arts subject does not mean significantly better job prospects. </p>
<p>It’s all about the whole package; about how a liberal arts major (without postgrad) can differentiate himself from other job applicants (in terms of his academic results, contribution to college life and characteristics that can serve him well in the future).</p>
<p>In “normal times” I’d agree, but right now you have MBA’s, Masters students (From Soc Sci/PoliSci, etc)applying and getting jobs previously recent undergrads would be getting. Have you been on a lot of job interviews lately? Very discouraging - in fact , many undergads are continuing on to grad degrees because they are unable to find gainly employment. It’s bad out there.</p>
<p>If you’re in an undergrad degree program that leads itself to good employment opportunities (e.g. Nursing, Engineering) you’re in good shape. Of course - as above post notes - if you are very active in your undergrad years with internships, volunteering, working part-time - you’re way ahead of most undergrads who don’t accomplish these job getting extracurriculars and your job prospects are much improved.</p>
<p>Most decent colleges will have on their website info about there grad placements in the tyoe of jobs, grad school etc. Sometimes you have to dig or better yet - ask the admissions counselors or your potential major advisor to provide you with the info - I guarantee they track this info.</p>
