How much does Gallatin really pay when it comes to jobs?

I got an email from NYU saying that Gallatin grads are among the top 10 highest earning majors in the school. (With all Gallatin grads having the same major) On the other hand, I found a study of NYU graduates online from the school and it showed Gallatin majors as having some of the lowest salaries ($35k). If I go to Gallatin, I’m going to try and get a “real” sort of major focused around economics and make sure to take plenty of math courses as opposed to some people who might get a major in “Keeping it Real” or whatever. However, I’m afraid this is representative of something else. I don’t want to end up with less job opportunities regardless of the classes I take just because people don’t recognize the name or whatever.

btw the study is here:
