Presented with little comment but perhaps it is time to rethink that $100,000 loan and the extended MBA program...
Right above Political Science and Journalism. LOL!
But what about the Community Organizer degrees? What are they worth these days? I have heard you can go far with one of those.
2011-12 National Average Starting Teacher Salary: $35,672
47,562 (35,672 * 12/9)
Plus benefits including health, retirement, education, student loan forgiveness, etc.
That would be suggested by the heading on the chart.
RE: When I was selecting a major in college (1960s), I expressed an interest in petroleum engineering. My adviser told me in no uncertain terms that it was a dead-end job with no openings. Someone would have to die for there to be an opening.
I gather you took the adviser’s advise. What did you major in instead?
Where’s “teleprompter reading”?
Must be a racist survey.
He didn’t need a degree for that...
Languages. At the time there were government programs promoting all sorts of language learning/teaching. With the hippie movement and the elimination of many college requirements, language teaching became the 400 applicants for every college job opening. I ended up in insurance. :o)
Amazing! Not a single one of those degrees ends with the word “studies.”
What exactly is “finance?” Is that accounting?
Burger King.

That is what the H-1b program will do, lower wages of the hardest working Americans, engineers being a group in that category.
Finance is typically corporate finance, securities, investments and financial planning.
SnakeDoc
The keyword is “experienced.” And it really appears that you do not understand the word, “starting.”
Colorado School of Mines has a 99% placement history...all mining engineers and very good ones at that..in High demand
Looked myself-accounting and finance are not the same. DH will be finishing up his accounting degree in Aug. just wondering what the prospects are...
I didn’t notice the word starting at first LOL. However if you adjust for inflation engineer starting salaries are not up that much, not much at all.
I have my doubts about these numbers since Computer Engineering is ahead of Computer Science. Computer Science is considered the far more desirable major.
Thanks, SnakeDoc. Hard to believe financial planning has such a good outlook.
