Heh, it does depend heavily on what a person's major was.
Any sort of biology, chemistry, physics or engineering degree can land a job, and a masters or a Ph.D. means more responsibility and pay.
Now, history, social science, english, and etc are SOL unless they are very skilled and can get a job in academia.
Nah, those diplomas might as well be a target,
and the bullseye reads "outsource me" in bold, capital letters.
