And remember, folks, this is a list of undergrad degrees only.  So, no need to post, "But I was an English major, and now I'm a lawyer earning 5x that much". [/quote]

So the vet in the OP post didn't need grad school? And non of the engineers here got a masters?[/quote]
most engineering majors don't need a graduate degree to earn six figures.  Yes, engineering majors make more than English majors -- undergrad.

Look at the starting salary of engineering majors? It's already close to six figures.  10 years later, their salaries would hit above six figures.  English majors generally need a graduate degree to make six figures.[/quote]

But most engineers don't make much past those starting figures, unless they go on and get a law degree and go into Intellectual Property law.

They are static and don't have the dramatic upward trend seen in other fields.[/quote]
