<p>If you can get into HYP, you can major in almost anything and be in a position for a decent job. If not, in most instances, the most lucrative degree is engineering, almost anyone with an engineering degree can get a 55k starting job.</p>
<p>people say liberal arts people start low and then outearn engineers, but that’s not true on average. Let’s say the average engineer starts at 55k at age 22. Let’s say a modest 3.5% raise per year, compounded over 20 years, that’s over 100k. I know there’s inflation, but an average liberal arts major does not out earn the average engineer.</p>
