The Economic Value of College Education by Major
May 29, 2015
If I were King of the world, I would allow for only a few majors at the undergraduate level. Literature, Languages, History, Mathematics, Science, Art and Philosophy. I would forbid students from majoring in jobs or careers. On the other hand, I have a daughter going into her junior year in college and three more in line and they all need to get jobs to support me and my old bones one day. Georgetown University’s Center on College and the Workforce has an informative study out this month quantifying the economic value of a college education by major. I intend to send this to all four of my daughters phones because they won’t hear me unless they get it by text or snapchat or whatever other social media is out these days.
