  Do you think classifying college majors with future salaries is an intelligent way to approach choosing a college major?

  So valid. I like the quote "One reason English majors tend to earn less than business majors, for instance, is that many lit-loving 18 year olds aren't particularly motivated by money, and want careers in, say, PR or journalism (or even teaching!) that are short on pay, but meet their interests. Saying business majors earn more only because of what they studied is like saying having lots of Nike running shoes in your closet makes you a faster runner." Hate to be cliche here, but money isn't everything. As some one who has career interests that are not always lucrative this article is encouraging. Money isnt enough to make me feel successful
