Which college majors earn the most … and which earn the least?
Every fall high school seniors start looking at colleges to attend. Part of that is deciding what major to pursue. For many that is a practical matter of employability, for others more a pursuit of passion.

NPR also looked at another interesting trend – why women end up choosing lower paying jobs – even when they are in high paying majors.
