[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They usually get much higher salaries out of the gate than liberal arts majors.

Usually they have better math ability, as shown by coursework taken in high school and college.  And standardized testing.

Often they learn some helpful computer programming basics in college.  That can be mildly helpful.

The DMV has a lot of highly-paid liberal arts majors because of it's focus on politics, law, global trade, etc.  It can be harder in other places to get your career off the ground with some of those majors.

My whole life, engineering undergrads have usually made $10s of K more in starting salary vs. English and Econ majors.

Don't assume your neighborhood is representative.[/quote]

at our high school, finance/business/PE/wharton kinda kids have better math ability. even the top kids going into humanities have very solid math (1550 on SATs).  Engineering kids are the kids who got a 1440 or 1480 on the SAT. [/quote]
Are you a teacher or school counselor?[/quote]

More than likely just a parent who's kid is not an engineering major I'm sure but business or humanities.  "I know all the kids at my kid's high school and the really smart ones don't do engineering or science They prefer humanities or business"  lol ridiculous on its face.[/quote]
