New study tells students worth of their majors
The choice of undergraduate major in college is strongly tied to a student鈥檚 future earnings, with the highest-paying majors providing salaries of about 300 percent more than the lowest-paying, according to a study released Tuesday.
Based on first-of-its-kind census data, the report by Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., also found that majors are highly segregated by race and gender.
