The study didn’t seem to include any stats on biology majors, but I agree with you – my guess is that they would probably fall somewhere on the lower end of the list, perhaps similar to psychology majors.

What about biology? I don’t see that on the list, but probably they don’t get paid much anyway.

“…Your happines matters more (than salary).”
Why yes, it’s splendid to be doing hard labor as an all-purpose sub-contractor for a living despite having a Master’s degree in public administration, a Bachelor’s in political science, and some web development experience. That $10 an hour will be perfect for paying off $50,000+ in student loan debt. Hooray for higher education, hooray!
(immense sarcasm, *obviously*)

This is all excellent info. What it fails to mention is the NUMBER of jobs available in each major compared to no. of respective graduates. For example, it is “rare” for Psychology majors to find a job in their field after graduation. Essentially, the market value of a Psychology/Sociology degree is no different than that of a high school graduate. For these majors, the unwritten rule is that one needs (at least0 a master’s degree and often a Ph.D. to actually get a job in their field. I know. I am a Psychology graduate.
