Marketable Degrees

<p>This thread is to help people with interdisciplinary interests. There are so many threads out there with _________ vs. __________, so why not just stick them all into one big thread? </p>

<p>Compare and contrast the following majors in terms of job prospects and salaries:</p>

<ol>
<li>Business</li>
<li>Humanities </li>
<li>Social Sciences </li>
<li>Engineering </li>
<li>Biology</li>
<li>Physical Sciences</li>
<li>Computer Science</li>
<li>Trades school (something practical, like plumbing or auto mechanic)</li>
<li>High school grad</li>
</ol>

<p>(Feel free to comment on something that's not on the list, or to comment on a specific stream)</p>

<p>I find it so frustrating how I open a Science thread and people say the job market is horrible. I open a Engineering/Computer Science thread and people there say the same thing. Same story with a humanities thread. Very informative...</p>

<p>Oh, and please don't just post a link ranking the average salary for each degree. Statistics rarely reflect the real world and I don't even know where they get most of those numbers.</p>
