The employment outcomes of Math graduates

[brendan]

What does salary have to do with "employment opportunities"?

Are you kidding me? You don't see the relation between starting salaries and employment outcomes?

So explain it to me

A frequent outcome of gaining employment is a ... salary!

OMG REALLY?!

Relate that back to the opportunities.

Why? I never said "opportunities" in this thread. Pwned

[Collin Li]

perfect logic.

now lets all go enjoy a nice commerce degree and forget about all this arts nonsense.

Oh, so employment outcome is the only thing that matters aye? Because no-one ever said that. But if you believe that, then it probably comes from that value-input.

Hrm I actually missed that post, and I am at a loss as to how she came to that conclusion. This isn't even a thread about commerce graduates.

Yeh, that med value is also low, interns tend to make between $70-90K, but that medicine may include other health science jobs too

[brendan]

Yeah do keep in mind that these are starting salaries and can be terribly misleading if you are using it as a proxy for the present value of lifetime earnings. Pharmacy is a case in point.

[kurrymuncher]

I had no idea Dentistry was the highest.

Supply and Demand. There's a lack of Dentists out there at the moment.

It lies!

Typical starting salaries for those in my field average $45-50k+  (but I guess Business Analysis is somewhat removed from Computer Science)
