Top Paying Degrees
Average starting salaries depend on what degree you majored in university, but essentially any degree in engineering, computer science, business administration, and economics will get you a higher salary. The top paying degrees today are in the field of engineering – chemical, electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering – and their salaries do not go any lower than $50,000. Engineers are usually employed in manufacturing sectors, the health care industry, and business sectors. Their jobs involve equipment design and machine development.
Next to engineers, computer science and management information systems majors are the highest paid. They work in various areas of businesses and the economy to help computer systems function efficiently, and their jobs may also involve design and research. Finance professionals and accountants are also very valuable, and often get secure positions in financial institutions, the government, and multinational companies. Finally, business management majors can work in any industry or start their own company and become self-made millionaires.
