Most likely the people out doing the protesting are not serious students at those institutions(SEE AOC). In fact I suspect that a lot of the protesters were not even students AT those institutions. You DO NOT get into Harvard Medical School, Harvard Business School or Harvard Law School IF you are stupid. It is EXTREMELY competative. IF they were in fact students at one of those universities they probably were in some type of “international studies” program like AOC was at BU.
I’ve held the first five job titles in the article at various times and never made near the $130K they cite. I have a Masters degree in Accounting and a CPA. The only way I made over $150K was to have a side hustle with my own CPA work. I worked with graduates from other schools that could only use excel to add a column of numbers and knew nothing about pivot tables, nested IF formulas or macros. All education is not equal.
I would NEVER go into HR...it is GOVERNMENT work (I was in HR in 70s, 80s, 90s...part in high tech)
My son is an operations mgr for @$24 million yr construction company...NO college degree
A lot of managers there. Jobs that normally require experience.
I agreed with almost everything you’ve noted ... maybe a few years ago.
Nowadays, with DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion — the latest commie/leftist term for their racist discrimination policies).... you no longer have to be anywhere near the top of your class to get into those schools. you just have to tick off the “correct’ boxes regarding your race, religion, sexual preferences, etcetera. (If you’re an unfortunate “white” identifiable Christian or Jew or Asian/Chinese, you do still need the grades since there are now fewer slots available for “your kind.”
I’ve been on both sides of recruiting and hiring, have seen it from all angles. Times have indeed changed.
These are the best skills to have...
😵😲
Plus they will want their student loans paid off by everyone else but them or is it they or it?
BTW the answer is NONE!

Which of these college majors has the best chance of scoring a high-paying job?

I’ve pointed out before I took the first two actuarial exams - passed with flying colors — but could not pass the interviews.
The insurance companies said straight away that they would consider any major — so it doesn’t have to be Economics or even STEM.
Interpersonal chemistry is the #1 factor....it’s regrettable that the interviews come after the education.
Yes there are internships but when I was in school, most employers wanted experience before you could even interview for an internship.
No engineering degree references or salary estimate for ANY engineering major. Oh. By the way. Those 130,000.00 and 150,000.00 “salaries” are for people with a few proven successes under their belt. and 10-15 years in each difference industry sector.
Concur with your observation,
Said so casually. Oh sure, just have to pass several exams.
Fact is you are more likely to become a full fledged MD then pass all those exams.
The pass rate is somewhere around 50%. And that is with repeated attempts.
