The Most (And Least) Lucrative College Majors, In 1 Graph
- lutusp 13y agoWow, what a surprise -- another career graph that puts psychology dead last. A quote from the article: "Michael Gardner just graduated from City College in New York with a degree in psychology. He applied for more than 100 jobs, had trouble getting interviews and worked at Home Depot to make ends meet. "Every single day while I was at work, I'm thinking, 'I just hope I really don't get stuck.' " Gardner just got a job earning $36,000 a year as a case worker — and he feels lucky to have it." A word to the wise -- choose a career that has value, that offers a skill people actually want. By the way -- Mathematics & Computer Science is near the top of the list.
