It's hard to pick the right college major. For those who don't know what to do with their careers , it may help to pick the major with the biggest paycheck.
Using data that OneClass compiled from Payscale, we found the 25 college majors with the highest average mid-career salaries. We also noted early career salaries, possible careers with that major, and a "high meaning" rating, based on the percentage of workers who said their jobs made the world a better place. Graduate school degrees were excluded, so most well-paying bachelor's degree holders are engineers.
You may find your major or career on this list. Or, if you're still deciding on a major, you may find one that's right for you.
