Posted By: Reggie Culpepper on July 15, 2022 By Estrella Rosas of Scholaroo.com July 6, 2022 Going to college is more than just earning a degree. The value of your major will determine and boost your earning potential. To make sure that you get the most out of your college degree, it is essential to choose a major that is not only aligned with your interests but is also valued in current times. Confused about where to start? We have compiled a list of the 35 Highest Paying Majors to get you started. How to Choose a College Major? Some students know exactly what they want to study in college and eventually pursue as a career. Others explore different options before finalizing a major. There are plenty of factors to consider when choosing a major. * The first thing a student should assess when deciding on a major is their aptitude for it. While you certainly can achieve anything you put your mind to, it is better to maximize your strengths and select a major in which you have an interest and is better aligned with your knowledge and skills. Think beyond your academic work. * Another important factor to consider is the earning potential of your major. The demand for certain majors is more than others, and so is their value. The intensive coursework of certain majors pays more than others, provided that there is a consistent demand for it in the industry/market. * Course requirements can also be a dealbreaker when selecting a college major. You may have an aptitude for a subject, but may not be the best fit for the course requirements of some majors. The duration of the major and how quickly you will be able to transition into it practically and professionally matters. It is also possible that you may require other certifications/qualifications to succeed in a particular field. * Will the major you choose be enough to sustain you for the rest of your life? Will there always be opportunities and job prospects for you in this field? What does the growth of your career look like by pursuing a certain degree? You should know the answers to all of these questions. College Major Median Salary 1. Petroleum Engineering 2. Computer & Information Sciences 3. Pharmacology & Toxicology 4. Chemical Engineering 5.
