The StudentChoice college ROI rankings are out and reveal one major dominating in terms of pay. Here are the best returns on higher education investment:
Aviation: 574.3% ROI
Engineering: 290%
Computer Science: 290%
Nursing: 272.6%
Fine Arts: 145%
The study shows, though, that specific jobs can matter much more for higher earnings than degree choice. For example:
Fine Arts – art director: 322.1% ROI
Math – actuary: 364.8%
Political Science – PR manager: 385.4%
Aviation – airline pilot: 657.2%
A degree sets the benchmark for ROI, but a career path can surpass this initial predictor of earnings.
