PayScale crunched the numbers for Fortune and identified the grad degrees
that lead to lucrative careers — and those that lead to high stress and low
pay.
It’s that time of year when college graduates ponder their future plans,
and those heading for more higher learning put down deposits for grad
school tuition. In a knowledge economy, the pay gap is the widest it’s been
in a generation, between those with more education, versus those with less
<http://www.nber.org/digest/jan08/w12984.html>. Which degrees are the best
investment?
Salary may not be the sole motivation for pursuing a graduate degree, of
course. But it makes sense to know the outlook for someone on your
educational pathway before ponying up – or, taking on a huge long-term debt
(in the U.S. today, average tuition
<https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d10/tables/dt10_348.asp> for a
graduate degree runs $36,000 to $63,000 a year.)
To determine the best and worst graduate degrees for jobs,Fortune consulted
the careers site, PayScale <http://www.payscale.com/>. The site considered
the full-range of graduate degrees, including Ph.D.s, master’s degrees, and
law degrees.
The ranking is based upon these factors:
- Long-term outlook for job growth. For that, PayScale drew on the Bureau
of Labor Statistics’ <http://www.bls.gov/> latest Employment Projections
data (2012-2022). Average rate of employment growth for all occupations is
10%, making anything higher a fast-growing field.
- Median salaries, at mid-career or at 10 years in (based on the three
jobs most commonly associated with each degree).
- Job satisfaction scores: the percentage of degree-holders who said
they were “highly satisfied,” in one of PayScale’s surveys (take one here
<http://www.payscale.com/wizards/choose.aspx> if you want). Job-growth
outlook and salary were double-weighted.
Perhaps not surprisingly, PayScale’s analysis finds the best graduate
degrees are in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields,
with median, mid-career salaries topping at $131,700. “The top of the list
has consistently been dominated by STEM degrees, especially statistics and
computer science in the last five years,” said Katie Bardaro, the director
of analytics and lead economist at PayScale.
The top degrees median mid-career earnings are roughly on par with each
other, but it’s worth noting that some – such as a doctorate in statistics
– lead to careers with lower stress.
Also, on the best degrees’ list, there are some emerging fields. Those who
earn a graduate degree in biostatistics (which is in our top 10 list), work
in healthcare, biotech, and life sciences, using computer models to, for
example, predict cancer growth in a cell. The degree still isn’t offered by
many schools but is gaining traction, Bardaro says.
And what about the worst degrees? Overall, the “worst” graduate degrees are
in the arts and education, leading to careers that bring in as little as
$48,100 in mid-career, according to PayScale data.
“Art-focused degrees and education dominate the bottom, year in and year
out,” Bardaro said. Teachers and social workers whose salaries are funded
by tax dollars are hard-pressed to see pay raises, in spite of their
benefit to society.” Yet, she notes, some of those degree holders– such as
those who earn a master’s in divinity — rate as high as “best” degree
holders for job satisfaction.
