That Consumer Sciences degree might be a better bet than you think.

According to the chart:
Environmental studies graduates get almost the worst compensation. I can imagine its because the field is flooded with clueless dogooder types. Too much supply of these graduates.

Education aside, school choice is also a powerful tool for stabilizing urban neighborhoods that are still solid, and gentrifying the sketchy ones. The other key reform is getting rid of the big housing projects, turning housing support into vouchers (not Sec. 8, which stays with a fixed site property), and shifting the housing-assisted population into much smaller scale, lower density patterns. Dilution is the solution.
Virtually every gangbanger has close relatives -- siblings, uncle or aunt, cousin -- who are doing the right thing, working, and staying out of trouble. There is a feral population that probably can't be salvaged, but if we drained the swamp, we would substantially reduce the numbers we are producing. It's really nothing more than undoing LBJ's disastrous wrong turns.

Yes, a starting salary of $40k is off by about 50%, at least for full-time people. Interestingly, about 2/3 of new pharmacy grads are women.And Hindus or Pakis

The more fun your job is the less it pays.

My son got a Welding/Materials Joining engineering degree and started working @ 60k a year. Within a few weeks of starting that job he had 5 or 6 more job offers.

Tradesmen do pretty well. A man can make a very good living as a welder. If the damn oil fields would keep running, there’s tons of money to be made there, too.

“...The public schools could do this as well if they got their act together...”
Nope, NEVER going to happen. IMO, you hit everywhere BUT on the head.
What you note is the difference when one gets away from ‘single/3rd-party payer’ education.
When people pay out of their own pockets....people CARE about results, decorum, curriculum, teachers, student behavior, etc.
Again, that can NEVER be in *FREE* ‘public’ education.

Agreed. I also think dilution, as it relates to school location and size is also a solution. Smaller, more neighborhood associated schools are key. It’s going back to the one room schoolhouse - effective, especially given technology today.

The public schools used to do this routinely. In many places, they still do. But I agree that governance is the issue, and school choice is the solution.

Try teaching the innumerate, writing-impaired masses at any institution of higher education that is mandated to accept all students with high-school diplomas from its state and you will not regard the assertion as crazy. Did you read my post? Yes, American high school graduates often cannot add fractions correctly. And the impression I have from experience is confirmed by looking at international "league tables" (as they call them over here in the UK where I am sojourning this winter and spring) comparing educational attainment from country to country.
Students who are accepted into the best American universities (say those ranked above 80th world-wide in either the Times Higher Education rankings or the Shanghai rankings) fall into one or more of the following categories:
- Their parents are well-off enough to pay the rack-rate tuition, in which case they either went to private schools or lived in a school district with public schools significantly out-performing the average American public school, and thus, even if, of middling ability, had a reasonable education before arriving at university.
- They were home schooled.
- Their parents provided them supplemental education, either at home or by sending them to intensive summer or after school programs.
- They are of sufficiently high native ability or drive that they were not harmed that much by having had a lousy education prior to entering university.
For the ones who only had the opportunity to go to less selective institutions, it is a testament to the quality of American higher education how many still come out reasonably well-educated, considering where most of them started.

``I've been told that pharmacists make at least 80thou right out of school, and probably higher...'' Yes, a starting salary of $40k is off by about 50%, at least for full-time people. Interestingly, about 2/3 of new pharmacy grads are women.
Yes, and that explains the two statistics: the $80k figure is probably good for full-time, but a large percentage of pharmacy grads, esp. women, choose to work part-time for the sake of raising a family. Average earnings and average full-time salaries will always show a disparity in female-heavy professions in which part-time work is a widely available option.

I do not concur on the solution.
Yes, govt IS the issue. School choice is but an offshoot of the solution: NO property taxes and education, like 99% of the rest, returns to a service oriented entity.
Mom/dad/guardian pays. Those w/out or grown-up...do what you will. You don’t pay for car insurance when you no longer need a car, why are schools different?

Going to the right university and selecting the right major can produce a great starting salary upon graduation.
My oldest daughter graduated from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in 2014 and stepped right into a $75,000/yr job with an international management consulting firm. Her current roommate also attended Georgetown with a degree in social work. She makes $40,000/yr.
