[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My non-stem husband (Econ major/German minor) at a top 10 university makes 3 times my very good salary. He went into software right out of college with a BA. I have a BS undergrad and MS in STEM, unless I also went to law school like a lot of my colleagues I would never make the $ he makes. He was making over $300k/year before he turned 30, and it went up from there. [/quote] yes, because though he did not major in STEM, he works in a STEM field, ie, CS. I also did not major in STEM, but not English, either. I eventually ended up in the IT field and made a lot more than my STEM majoring sibling. The point being: non STEM majors who end up in STEM related fields end up earning more than English majors who do not end up working in STEM fields. Eng fields with only undergrad degrees earn more than English majors in non eng/IT fields.[/quote]
