The 20 worst paying college degrees

[Marx]

Yeah, I agree. And, while I think teachers should make more, it always bothered me when I had a young, single teacher complaining about making $40-$50k a year. My mom raised 4 kids by herself on half of that.

Same here.

You need the free health care and more money to deal with the stray moose. In America, we only have stray cats and dogs.

There are moose in Alaska!

You think Alaska is America? Pfft... Mexico is more America than Alaska.

College Degree Starting Pay Mid-Career Pay
19. Music $36,700 $57,000

I want to see the graph representing the data for these numbers, because the average doesn't really tell me much - the field is too diverse to get a real idea of what it's saying.

7. Paralegal Studies/Law $35,100 $51,300

Given that fulltime retail work has never earned me more than $18,000 in a single year, I'd say $35,000-$51,000 is a major step up for me. $35,000 can cover rent, groceries, cable TV, and internet. And since the Paralegal profession is dominated by people who only have Associates degrees, it's a more sound investment than anybody who went to school for 4+ years to make the same amount.
