Busted Myth of the Week: Business Majors Earn the Most Money after Graduation
It’s common wisdom that business majors stand the best chance of snagging high-paying jobs after they graduate from college. But not so. If you want a top-paying job after you graduate college, perhaps you should be studying engineering. That’s the message behind The National Association of Colleges and Employers’ list of top-paying jobs for recent graduates.
Here are the jobs that NACE says will reward you with the highest starting salaries after graduation . . .
- Chemical Engineering - $67,000
- Computer Science - $63,000
- Mechanical Engineering - $61,000
- Electronic Engineering - $61,000
- Computer Engineering - $60,000
- Industrial Engineering - $59,000
- Systems Engineering - $57,000
- Engineering Technology - $57,000
- Information Sciences - $57,000
- Networking and Telecommunication Sciences - $57,000
How can you transition into one of these technical fields? One good way is to take some college courses online to test the waters before you take the plunge.
