Top Paying Majors

In the linked article from Yahoo! News, you'll see that my college major ranks in the top 15 in best paying jobs out of college. Not bad. As the article points out, all the top 15 fields have mathematics as the common thread. Only 3 of the 15 majors don't contain the word "engineering".

For all those kids out there, I know you may hate calculus. You may always ask when will I need this and all those common cliches. Well, this chart shows that mathematics is the key to several important, high demand fields. Focus on your math skills when you're young and you'll be paid cash dividends, literally.

Forget history. Forget liberal arts. Forget marketing. Learn to love integrals! :)
