Salaries and College Majors

This is a nice chart from the Chronicle of Higher Education that compares average salaries by college major.

Each vertical bar represents a high-level category (like Social Science or Engineering) and by scrolling over each bar you see a detailed breakdown of salary by specific major (like Poly Sci or Architecture).

Not surprisingly, math majors do pretty well, and the more applied, the better!
