Lucrative College Degrees in 2006

This is a very good article for all you college students out there, or if you are thinking about going to college. It can be very hard to choose what you want to do with your life. College offers so many choices in terms of majors. CNN has made it a little bit easier to make your decision. They have listed their top 10 degrees for the year 2006.

  1. Chemical Engineering
  2. Electrical Engineering
  3. Mechanical Engineering
  4. Computer Science
  5. Accounting
  6. Economics
  7. Civil Engineering
  8. Business Administration
  9. Marketing

Notice the surprising amount of finance related degrees in the list. I guess with all the corporate scandals out there; its not that hard to imagine.
What is the #10 degree? Liberal arts!. Those people are being offered a measly $30,000 a year. That is after a 6% increase from 2005. Imagine going to a 4yr college, accumulating all those student loans and then making about $30k a year. Thats tough!
