Students who study chemical engineering as undergraduates will, on average, make the most money of any college major over their lifetimes, earning more than $2 million, according to a new study from The Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution.
The report — called "Major Decisions: What Graduates Earn Over Their Lifetimes" — tracks data from the Census Bureau to determine which college majors yield the largest financial rewards over a graduate's lifetime. Unsurprisingly, engineering degrees topped the list, while education and arts majors were found closer to the bottom.
However, as The Washington Post notes, "these rankings exclude people with graduate degrees, which leaves out doctors, lawyers, and professors," which explains the potentially low ranking of majors that traditionally go on to law school or medical school.
Overall though, the report reaffirms the importance and value of a college degree. According to the findings, a typical bachelor's degree graduate will earn $1.19 million over their lifetime, about twice what the typical high school graduate earns.
Here's The Hamilton Project's chart of median lifetime earnings by college major, in millions of dollars:

That's because biology majors need an advanced degree to do something beyond being a high school teacher with their degree, breh. A chemistry or physics major, on the other hand, has more options than a biology major.
Economics is a good major. Lots of math and data interpretation involved, breh. Both of which are valued skills by a lot of companies.
I wouldn't have a problem with my seeds studying economics.
