The Worth of a Major

Georgetown University just published an interesting study on the earning capabilities of undergraduate degrees. Using various banks of statistics they break down the salaries of college graduates based on their major.
I looked up Geography (which is of course the best major) and was happy to see that geographers were more then competetive when it came to earnings. I think this study would be very useful to those who are undecided about their major or perhaps trying to choose between a couple of attractive options.
Check out your major and tell me how it stacks up!

Ah Education! Hanging out at the bottom with Psychology and Social Work. All well. Interesting study though, I'm glad Geography is doing well, that's Andrew's major.

Sorry you are on the bottom! Take comfort in the fact that most of the high earning engineers have no personality! =)
