<p>Someone who has a low cost frugal lifestyle and low/no debt will have a greater range of jobs that s/he can choose from on the basis of non-pay-related criteria, because the minimum level of pay required to live comfortably on a low cost frugal lifestyle is less than for a lavishly expensive lifestyle.</p>
<p>But the point of the post-graduation outcome surveys is to help prospective college students make informed decisions in choice of major and school, rather than find unpleasant surprises at graduation time. Some students may be just fine with the relatively low pay prospects of majors like biology, after knowing that beforehand and making plans to suit (frugal living, avoiding debt, etc.).</p>
