Job Market for College Seniors

One of my colleagues forwarded me an article from the Wall Street Journal on starting salaries by major for graduating college seniors. From on average of $49,000 for Engineers to $28,000 for Philosophy there is quite a range.

Economics majors rank fourth behind Engineering, Computer Programming, and Math, with average starting salary of $43,000.

So Towson business majors take note, economics majors make on average almost $8,000 more starting out than business and marketing majors.
