"actuarial mathematics""

Comes in at #3. That sounds like a death-panel precursor.

I wonder how tough it is to major in “government”? Probably not quite as demanding as chemical engineering, although the mid career pay ain’t bad.

But the late career pay is where things really get good.

My marketing degree is doing me well, but one of my son’s is majoring in one of this lists top ten.

I already told him that any money I put out for his degree is a loan since he’ll be earning more than me real soon.

His school also has an employment guarantee. A job in the field within 90 days at a competitive salary or they will pay for the Masters Degree.

I just sent the article link to my 21 year old son. He is in his senior year of college, majoring in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (minoring in Land Management). He’s exhausted (rigorous classes) but looking towards the finish line.

This article made me think back to when he was applying to universities and needing his HS guidance counselor to send his transcripts. She questioned WHY he would select THAT type of curriculum with all the negative affects on the environment from drilling, fracking and pipelines. When he told his dad and I about her comments, he added “I guess she walks to work...”
