<p>List school and degree.</p>
<p>business - wharton, stern, haas, ross, etc...
engineering - MIT, CIT, UM, Stanford, etc..</p>
<p>There's some really mean but really funny joke in here about art history or philosophy, but I won't go there. ;)</p>
<p>[list=0][<em>]Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering

[li]Harvard Law[/li][/list]</p>
<p>Hopefully Stanford Management Science and Engineering because that will be my Major</p>
<p>Cornell - Hotel Management</p>
<p>Flopsy is close, but take out Harvard Law and throw in U of Chicago Econ if you just want to stick with undergrad.</p>
<p>Anywhere Nuclear Engineering. 5 or so jobs for every grad.</p>
<p>Columbia - education</p>
<p>Philosophy majors who want decent jobs can get them more easily than many other majors, and a well trained art history major has visual analytic skills that few other majors acquire (film, maybe a few more). For example, look at law schools- one of the most popular major was philosophy. From there, most go into law.</p>
<p>my aunt has an undergrad and grad degree in art history (double major undergrad art history/business) and she makes close to a six figure income working at an art gallery in san fran.</p>
<p>DRab and Drew00, it was a joke. Hence the smiley...</p>
<p>:rolleyes:</p>

<p>Yea, I know. I just felt the need to comment on the myth that there are 'worthless' degrees. The degree does not make the person.</p>
<p>U of Chic econ more marketable than Harvard econ? I think the weight of the Harvard name does something for you in this situation, but I could be wrong. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>flopsy, i would replace harvard law with yale law</p>
<p>I think any degree from Harvard is marketable. No average person reads a resume and says something like, "A bachelor's in Portuguese literature? Everybody knows Yale is better for Portuguese literature! REJECTION!"</p>
<p>H>Y </p>
<p>but anyways, any Harvard degree is marketable if it isnt in something useless</p>
<p>While Harvard and Yale don't publish their data online, some of you may find the Princeton salary data interesting.</p>
<p>The data seems to indicate that your major has a far larger impact on your marketable than the prestige of the school. Notice how some of the Princeton majors just don't make very much. For example, according to CNN, the average starting salary of all chemical engineering grads in 2005 was about 54k. That beats the average salaries of most of the majors at Princeton. In other words, a chemical engineering degree from just an average program is more marketable than, say, a Princeton degree in Art. </p>
<p>Well no one expects a Princeton "Hebrew Studies" major to beat a Purdue Engineer in starting salary. </p>
<p>sakky we have to be reasonable in comparing similar majors, for instance ug economics-business at high prestige colleges vs state unis, or "lower prestige colleges"</p>
