Engineering Degrees A Predictor of Future Earnings

In a study released by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce on 23 May 2011, of the top 10 majors with graduates attaining the top median salaries, 8 were held by engineering disciplines.  "As a group, engineering majors of all disciplines reported the highest median earnings at $75,000, the study showed."  The study also showed that race and gender still play a part in parity of earnings, with under-represented ethnicities and women earning less than others, even with high-paying majors.  http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-05-24/engineering-undergrads-reap-top-salaries-among-college-majors.html
