When you're thinking about your college degree, it's important to understand starting salary and midcareer earnings. Because when you are paying back student loans, you're doing it at 22, 25, 30, your early career, not necessarily when you're in your 50s at your midcareer earning point. And this data right here shows the early and mid-career earnings for the top earning professions. And I'll get out of the way here so that you can see them all. As you can see, it starts at the top there. You got computer science, mechanical engineering, economics, business analytics, finance. I don't think a lot of those are very surprising. At the bottom there, you have history, secondary education, biology, liberal arts, psychology, elementary education, and performing arts. And of course, some of these aren't really growing when you get into your midcareer. For example, secondary education here, your starting salary and your mid-career earnings are not growing that much compared to some of these other fields. So, as you are thinking about paying for college, I really want you to keep these charts in mind because your financial life after graduation will be dependent on what you earn. And if you are spending a lot of money repaying student loan debt, it can lead to a world of hurt. So, as always, let me know your thoughts in the comments. drop your salary.
