Which College Has the Most Valuable Degree?

Which college has the highest ROI?

A friend of mine sent me an article this week on the colleges and degrees with the highest return on investment (ROI), and after careful review, I deemed it worthy enough to share with you, my internet friends! I believe in every educational decision being calculated, which you can read about here, here, or here so anytime I find something numerical to back up my position, of course I’m going to share it.

Some people don’t like my position on crap majors, but there’s a reason people are looking at it. The costs of education are too high not to know what you’re going to get in exchange from a monetary return on investment standpoint. Otherwise, you should just join a book club if you’re just in spending tens of thousands of dollars just for the discussion…

Take a look at the article and let me know what you think:

    Yea the grad school burden is a real issue whether you do it before, during, or after your stint in the workforce. It can be a life-altering burden. I’ve been encouraging people to really think about how they’d be paying that debt off forever because that’s a realistic scenario right now.
