I still think both of you, esp, LakeClouds, place too much importance on major in academic v. trade orientation wrt gaining top paying jobs. Again, some u’s, Harvard, prime example, don’t need trade/vocational majors for its humanities and social science majors to gain high-paying jobs with just baccalaureates without having to go to grad professional school,

<p>However, the elite schools which attract the investment banking and management consulting recruiters are relatively few. Students not at those schools need to set their post-graduation expectations appropriately if they choose majors like biology that are not in particularly high demand.</p>

@LakeClouds

That being said, I still see that the payscale data is a useful indicator as some of the top ranked schools on the list are all STEM focused.

<p>You mean engineering-focused. “STEM” includes biology, which has relatively poor job prospects at graduation.</p>
