Top 10 Most Lucrative College Majors
Who makes more: Electrical engineering, economics or education majors? The engineers win this contest, according to PayScale.com. The site, which collects data on salaries for a variety of professions, has now compiled data on the salaries of 1.2 million graduates who received a bachelor's degree from hundreds of universities and colleges. The information is self-reported, so it is not a randomized, scientific sample. Also, it does not include anyone who went on for further education after a bachelor's degree. Quantitative-oriented degrees, such as engineering, science, mathematics and economics, filled most of the top slots in both the highest starting median salaries and highest mid-career median salaries. "A student's choice of major has a huge impact mid-career, enormous," Al Lee, PayScale's director of quantitative analysis, told The New York Times.
