Most Lucrative Majors

[opebo]

The government should provide incentives on student loans based on major choice, if they do not already do so.

Christ, talk about opposing choice.

Anyway, looking at majors depresses me, but at least they included some reasonable ones - Philosophy, History, English.

Woohoo!  Looks like I chose the right major, haha.  Econ all the way!  I actually want nothing to do with Econ once I graduate though.  I'm headed for Real Estate Development in grad school.  Should be joyous...

I don't mean to be offensive, but it sounds very strange to have a masters degree in 'Real Estate Development'.  Its like getting a PhD in 'Wheeling and Dealing'.

...I'm still deciding between that and Urban Planning.  Which in essence would give me the same education but with more of a traditional focus on more tangible classroom topics.  On the other hand I might just skip it and jump right in.

Must be nice!  Of course, I guess we're still 3-4 years away from the point at which you could actually sell anything.

Not radical incentives.  But progressive interest rates.

It makes rather more sense to charge people who receive more higher rates, and people who receive less lower rates.

If you decide what subject to study at uni based on this sort of thing, you shouldn't be going to uni in the first place...

Don't worry, people go to university based on their parents' class status, not based on anything internal to their own little empty heads.
