These numbers only reflect students who graduated with a bachelor's degree in each field. Associate's, master's, and other degrees are not considered.
The lucrative STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) have plenty of representation on the list of highest-paying jobs after graduation. Engineering, in particular, is a college major that leads to strong future earning potential. All but two of the 20 highest-paying college degrees are some kind of study in engineering. Science, technology, and math majors are also present.
In today's job market, having a bachelor's degree is nearly a necessity to land a rewarding, well-paying job with any possibility for advancement; a bachelor's degree is almost essential for entry into most professional careers. In certain lines of work, like teaching and engineering, you cannot enter the field without holding at least a bachelor's degree.

I was number 38 and my salary was spot on. I retired at 63. I was going to retire at 64 so I told the company I worked at in case they had to go through a staff reduction, which they had in the past. I didn't want some young engineer with kids and a wife let go when I was going to quit anyway. And I didn't want them to put me on a four year project if I was leaving in less than a year. That didn't seem fair.
So they did have a 10% staff reduction throughout the company. While they did fire me, they paid me full salary and healthcare for nearly a year which put me passed my 64th birthday.
When the lady from HR told me I was being fired and that they were going to continue to pay me I told her I was going to dance out the door. She told me everyone else cried. So I left low key. I didn't want anyone thinking I was mocking them. I'm not a Republican. I don't believe in cruelty.
I heard later the HR lady was also fired after firing everyone else. Harsh.
Pew Research Center: Republicans say college bad for U.S.
The reason most Republicans think college is bad for America is because colleges teach what Republicans don't want to believe.

It's sad that Republicans are teaching children that college is bad for America. Politically, it may work for now, but they will eventually be left in the dust wondering what happened. You can see it coming.
