Book Description * Presents the actual jobs and earnings of college graduates in 60 majors! * The ONLY book based on a U.S. Census Bureau study of 150,000 college graduates. This terrific handbook offers the most accurate and helpful information available for making decisions on a college majoror what to do with a degree you have. Readers learn which majors are the best investment, the job and salary prospects for specific majors, the employment growth rates for particular majors, and how many graduates go on to additional education. The new second edition includes substantial new information, including the important steps to take before college to ensure future career success, the rising earnings premiums related to a college education, and the misinformation that exists about college costs and the belief that the "sticker price" of college is the final price. Each chapter describes the major and the courses it requires; discusses jobs that graduates actually obtain; and gives information on employers, tasks, and salaries.
