Read the book “Crazy U”. Those rankings are all for the ego of the college. Focus on whats important…1)Pick a major you can get a job in, 2) Don’t borrow an arm and a leg to go to college. The debt isn’t worth it.



I understand what you’re saying, but I did not give that advice to my two college kids. I couldn’t do that to them. My parents gave me that advice (pick a major you can get a job in), I followed it, and I’ve been miserable about that decision ever since. It’s not about the money I make. The money is fine. It’s about not enjoying what I do, in comparison to what I could’ve done had I followed my passion instead of my parents’ “practical” advice. Maybe I would’ve done worse financially, but I think I would’ve been a lot happier.
