College Majors Are Not Created Equal

New data shows that it still pays to get a college degree—depending on your major. While it’s generally true that higher education pays off, it’s by no means a guarantee. You’ve got to plan ahead to make sure your degree jumpstarts a successful career. High school students have been told for decades that if you want a better paying job—go to college. And many young adults have done that, no doubt some with the belief that all college majors are created equal. They are not.
