Consulting accounting engineering CS Data Science - all start at 80-100k plus with an undergrad degree. Do you live under a rock??

Engineering pay is pretty dependent on field. Accounting typically pays 60k.

Accounting, especially with CPA licensure, pays better than 60k to start.

Every one of DC’s 2025 eleven close friends from their top10 has a job or grad/law/med. majors include english, classics, double math and french, history, biology. Not one got a job through parents or family all were related to internship, professor connection or campus recruiting. Grad and professional school of course is highly recommendation and research based. This school is on all target lists and has very high grad /law /med matriculation of course which helps a lot. High school friends from other colleges did not do as well but more than 75% have a job or grad plans.
The best plan in a down market is go to the most successful outcome schools for all Majors

Oh I call BS.

I don't see a lot of unemployed kids out of harvard or stanford regardless of major.

Engineering will always be good. AI will not replace most jobs, we still need people who can think and craft the projects, and who will use AI to accelerate the work.
Critical thinking is always needed

My DS got a good job at an advertising company a few years ago right out of college. He paid off his student loans and is now saving $$ for a down payment for a home. No grad degree.

Nursing, teaching, and marriage, you mean.
