Harvard English: $49,675

Harvard CS: $256,539

Look at the enormous gap.  Imagine why? LOL
Good luck with humanities majors in no name schools.

As has been noted, college score card is ONLY kids getting FEDERAL (ie Pell) FA. That's a sliver. Do you know how many liberal arts majors from Williams and Dartmouth go to GS and McKinsey? A lot. Are they the Pell kids? No.  And this data is for the 4th year out of college, which is hardly mid career.

But I agree, in 2005 to 2020ish - CS was the fastest way to make money. It's also the shortest career ... which is fine, but understand you have to move into management or prepare to get aged out.

____ here's the fine print:

The median annual earnings of individuals who received federal financial aid during their studies and completed an award at the indicated field of study. To be included in the median earnings calculation, the individuals needed to be working and not be enrolled in school during the year when earnings are measured. Median earnings are measured in the fourth full year after the student completed their award.[/quote]

That's why this is even more important and significant.
Federal aids include any type of loans. Most of the middle class get some sort of federal loans.
This eliminates really rich families and their fancy connections. 
A kid working for dad's company or through dad's fancy connection making 200,000K don't mean shit to normal middle class people.  So this is actually great information.

The status after 4 years from graduation seems important.

this is not true.  Federal Aid is Pell or veteran benefits.  Loans are not Federal Aid[/quote]
