Engineering majors dominate a new list of the top 10 highest-earning and most in-demand bachelor's degrees, according to a new report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), which surveyed bachelor's degree candidates with 10 job offers reported, and compared proposed salaries.
In NACE's Winter 2010 Salary Survey, engineering disciplines account for eight of the 10 bachelor's degrees that could prove most valuable to graduates entering the job market.
The only non-engineering-related degrees in the top 10 were computer science and information sciences and systems, which draw larger number of students. However, those students should see plenty of opportunity: recent U.S. Department of Labor research predicts the fastest-growing category for jobs in the coming decade will be management, scientific, and technical consulting services, with growth at 83 percent between 2008 and 2018.
