[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone needs to look at the Bucknell Graduate Outcomes for the class of 2023 that someone posted in the other thread. History majors were doing the same consulting/legal/research associate jobs. Avg salary just over $61K, which was about $10K more than most sciences like biology and chemistry. Same with English majors who had an average of $63K-$69K. They broke out creative writing and literary studies.

It seems very dependent on school. For example,
The median salary for Harvard comp sci graduates 5 years out is $219k. Applied math is $178k. Economics is $161k. History is $94k.

At Penn - history is $84k. Finance is $242k. Economics is $152k. Nursing is $114k. Pure comp sci is $171k. Computer and Information Science is $298k.

To look at state schools, at UMD, history is $55k. Information science is $113k. Business admin is $102k, finance $116k. Marketing is $91k. Journalism is $72k. Chemistry is $78k.

Moving lower on the totem pole, let's check out Salisbury. Comp sci is $113k. Accounting is $83k. History is $49k. Business admin is $75k. Marketing is $67k.
