I majored in PolySci, so definitely non-stem. It was tough at first to manage my student loans, but with experience and pay increase, it got better until it was paid off. I knew going into this field that it's not always lucrative, and I would have to follow specific pathways to make a good living. I worry that universities don't teach students the true value of their degrees, and emphasize enough the average and typical salary expectations. There are too many college graduates saddled with enormous debt, but lacking a degree that will allow them to earn enough to pay it back, let alone develop a successful, and rewarding career.
