Into the wrong industries, a lifetime in the United States earn $ 1.6 million less

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released a report that, with a bachelor's degree in engineering graduate in a 40-year career in education graduate earn $ 1.6 million average. Engineering degree in 2011, the average annual salary of $ 92,000, and the performing arts, education, psychology, bachelor average annual salary is less than $ 55,000.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau recently released the 2011 Community Survey report, the U.S. college graduates with a bachelor's degree, working full-time annual median salaries of $ 64,396, these people both new graduate students, including those who did The lifetime of the highest degree is a bachelor of full-time workers. Engineering professional salaries highest annual average of up to $ 91,611; computer and math professionals ranked second, with an annual $ 80,180; physics, chemistry, medicine, natural science salary is also good, ranked third with $ 80,037. At the other extreme, visual and performing arts professional salary minimum, an average of $ 50,484 for one year only, the teaching profession is only $ 50,902, a psychology major to $ 55,509, the column bottom third.

    It can be derived, engaged in engineering work on average per year than those in the performing arts professional to earn $ 40,000, a work of 40 years, throughout his career average difference of $ 1.6 million in revenue, the gap is still very alarming .

    The survey found, with a graduate, in which field work, the income gap is not small. Such as humanities graduates working in the computer field, the lifetime average earn $ 2.9 million, and the humanities graduates engaged in clerical work in the general office, life can only earn $ 1.6 million, these people, perhaps people say poverty Small white-collar workers.

    In terms of employment status, also found a trend similar science and engineering is more popular than liberal arts. Computer and math graduates the highest proportion of full-time employment, accounting for two-thirds of the engineering profession accounted for 65%, business accounted for 64% of these professionals are more popular, and easy to find full-time work. Education professionals engaged in full-time work accounted for only 41% of the language and literature of professional full-time workers accounted for 46%, visual and performing arts, accounting for 48%, indicating that these professionals are looking for full-time work is relatively difficult.

    The survey also found that the difference between the salaries of men and women of American college graduates is big. Boys average $ 75 914 $ 54 796 girls, a difference of more than twenty thousand a year, the biggest difference is the physics, chemistry, medicine, natural science, a difference of nearly $ 30,000 annual income for men and women; work salary in the private sector is relatively high, government departments than in an average of more than $ 7,000 a year.

    Already see from the above statistics clearly learn physics and chemistry, all over the world are not afraid, in the United States is also an irrefutable truth. Unwelcome in science and engineering than liberal arts more Haozhaogongzuo, the salary treatment also better, it is an indisputable fact. Learning Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry is hard, and requires a solid knowledge base, for the universal mathematical relatively weak American students in science and engineering is often not the best choice. This is why Americans exclaimed the training of engineers each year is not enough, members of Congress are planning legislation to allow foreign science and engineering students to stay reason to work in the United States.

    Georgetown University study last year that U.S. college students majoring in subjects closely related to future income, the level of three-fold difference. Higher economic value of petroleum engineering, mathematics, computer, counseling psychology, early childhood education, lower economic value. Asian students learn the law and public policy, the median annual salary of $ 55,000, $ 48,000 psychology and social work, biology and life sciences annual salary of $ 53,000.
