[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People here who say that sociology is a bad degree for seeking employment must not know much about sociology. It's a stats heavy field and if you go anywhere beyond the intro stats/quant methods courses, you can easily get a job. It may be a bit more difficult for quantitative sociologists.[/quote]

Interesting that drama major is such a high salary?[/quote]
The median salary of drama majors is &lt; 50K.    The 90%ile of income of those who majored in drama is high - ranging from like $75K to $150K, but that does not mean that 90% of drama majors earn that much.   Given that the median income is only $50K, it means that at least half earn below $50K.  Of those who earn more than $50K, the top 90%ile ranges from $75K to $150K.     I don't know if that chart only shows those people who work in a field that they majored in, though.[/quote]
