Highest Paying College Majors
The life of a college graduate has to be one of the most unique stages to look forward to. Most will be joining the work world and have to adjust to waking up extra early and workroom monotony. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones who majored in pretty much any type of engineering the starting salary may just be enough to make you forget about how wild your college nights were.

Where's the money?
According to a report released Thursday from salary-tracker Payscale.com this year’s top starting salary was petroleum engineers earning $93,000 and a mid-level pay of $157,000. Electrical engineering was the third highest with a mid-level pay of $104,000. That’s a pretty nice salary for a field that demands so much from the person. If science or mathematics is not your thing, there are plenty of other fields that still bring in a comfortable paycheck.

Careers in building construction, government, and urban planning have average salaries of more than $80,000 a year. Even majors like film production and zoology can lead to mid-level salaries of more than $60,000.

No matter what a person majored in college they have the chance to succeed and break boundaries in their industries to get the pay they want. Entry-level salaries are always going to be a little low because you are just starting out and people want to see if you can work for something higher.
