Kids need to suck it up and just S.T.E.M it out.
Thats what made America great.
We might not produce things as much here any more, but we damn sure have the intellectual capacity and resources to "develop" ideas.

I think biomed (right now) and mechanical engineering (in the next 4 years) is probably the safest in regards to future income.
However that doesn't answer your question. A lot of degrees can be considered the highest paying. These degrees have sort of a bell curve when it comes to graduates who make decent money. Those who succeed make bank. Yet there are many who will consistently get their foot in the door and make very little, and not necessarily because of their shortcomings but simply because of the way those specific markets operate.

This is sickening to me. Too much potential going to waste.
America's academic industry and corporate industry are not structured for this.

Getting a degree based on how much money they make is a bad idea. Get your degree in something that you actually want to do all your life.

In all honesty you need to find a balance of both. Being a doctor or lawyer makes money but it may make you miserable. My advice from someone already working is think of an interest, find a career with those interest that can make good money and see what you need to do to get there. Don't be surprised if once you start working you are not making the kind of money think you would be, gotta grind and earn recognition.

College has a way of weeding out the "paypa chasers". They go after the $$$ making degrees, then realize there is no free lunch...meaning that the degrees that make $$$ usually take an insane amount of dedication to be successful, and usually the "paypa chasers" are more into the social aspects of college rather than academic and their paypa chasin %@*%* get washed out.
Face it...if being rich was so damn simple then a lot more people would be rich.

what does that mean exactly?
with a business degree... you could start off as a financial consultant making $70K, or finding some corporate position in investing, marketing, or finance making upwards of $100K off top...
on the tail end of the career, you could still be working somewhere w/ 20+ years experience, making $60K going into retirement
on the tail end of the career, you could have 20+ years of experience, catching a CMO or CFO job making $750K and working 25 hours a week...
high ceiling, low floor fambs...

Biomed/technology is the future. It will completely change the way we practice medicine in the future. You may not even need a doctor.

Very true.
I also think that "business" is the most common degree.

Highest paying right off the bat would be your various engineering degrees. Also finance and computer science. A S.T.E.M degree is a "safe" way to go, but the ceiling is not as high as your various business degrees. I chose Molecular Biology because I know it is steady, although the ceiling isnt very high
