Top 25 Highest Paying Majors (Hint: Get a Degree in Engineering!)

There's nothing wrong with earning a college degree that will actually help you make money. For students who are interested in earning a good salary without pursuing a graduate degree a major from this list is a good place to start.

Which Majors Lead to the Most Well-Paid Jobs? Examining the Long Game

In our report on the Top 25 Highest Paying Majors, we found that the list was dominated by engineering majors. However, this list was based on entry-level salaries, or how much these undergraduate majors earn for their first job right out of college.

A high entry-level salary, however, does not always equate to the best-paying job at the mid-career level. Why? For one reason, some jobs have caps in place that limit how much you can make without going on to get a master’s or Ph.D.

The best US cities for millennials who have student debt

In the US, college is more expensive than ever before.

Moreso than any other generation, millennials are graduating with crippling student debt that may take their entire lives to pay off. Today, the average American student leaves college with $37,172 in loans, a $20,000 hike from 13 years ago.

After millennials earn their diplomas, they often move to cities that promise ample job opportunities, like New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Seattle.
