The best jobs in the world
A site called “The Best Degrees” has just published a list of the best-paying college degrees They base their analysis on the study of reports from the US Department of Labor, in in particular their “Occupational Outlook Handbook” and their wage data.
In the list we note:
- #2 best degree: PhD in computer science.
- #3: bachelor's degree in software engineering.
- #6: bachelor's degree in computer science.
- #7: bachelor's degree in databases.
- #9: bachelor's degree in computer networks.
So: half of the first ten most pay-wise productive degrees in the US are directly in our discipline!
The message is clear: if prospective students, those at least for whom salary is a key determinant, knew the reality and not just the image, we would be flooded with hordes of applicants begging us to take them in.
