US News & World Report just released a list of the 10 college majors with the best starting salaries post-grad and I don't think we can really be shocked.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, people with a bachelors degree typically earn around $1,305 per week while someone with only a high school diploma earns around $781 per week. This report shows that some degrees pay off much more than others.
