The 10 highest- and lowest-paying college majors

What’s your major? That can be a multimillion-dollar question.

Post-recession, the days of declaring yourself “undecided” when it comes to a college major have started to fall by the wayside as graduates want to see increasingly pricey bachelor’s degrees put to good use landing a job.

A study by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce found that a student’s choice of major can mean up to a $3.4 million dollar difference in lifetime earnings. The researchers used U.S. Census Bureau data to analyze wages for 137 majors. College graduates earn $1 million more, on average, than high school graduates.
