You know I believe choice of college major is an important life decision, and it is made quite young. CNBC reports the ten college majors with the best starting salaries, and also reports their mid-career average pay. Two of the 10 start at over $100,000 per year.
I am especially pleased to see the subject I taught - Management - is one of the 10, it comes in #6. CNBC calls it "Applied Economics and Management" which is close enough. For my field they list a starting salary average of $81,200 and a mid-career salary of $169,300.
All of the others are in STEM fields - engineering, computers and math.
