If social science majors are so smart then why are they sinking all that money into pursuing a non-marketable degree?
Two generations ago when my sister entered the convent after high school, she was told that she was going to be a math major, as she started her college studies. In that religious order of educators, the highest SAT of the incoming group of girls became a math major, second highest a Chemistry major...
Well, I went from a degree in Music to another one in Computer Science then finally settled on an MBA, so I guess I’m muddled in the middle somewhere.
bkmk
Overall, in each occupation area, from top to bottom, the S A T’s seem pretty low. They really are dumbing down the students and the test
in every category, look how far down the list are the majors of education and public administration (where your local taxes go)
So if you’re undecided, you score better than 70% of your classmates — uhm, ok.
This study is seriously flawed. Interdisciplinary Studies can mean anything. Usually, it means you are trying to get the easiest/fastest degree possible, so I really doubt the accuracy of this table.
Also, someone who is Political Science major at MIT probably has better SAT scores then a Computer Information Systems major at the University of Phoenix. This table does not take into account the institutions from which the scores were obtained.
Just my 2 centavos FWIW.
