ROI by major and college
#4
I think these sorts of studies have value and people can use them to help think about their direction in life, etc.  One criticism I have is that they make no real effort to consider factors that are less tangible.  An engineer might make a million dollars, for example and that paints a nice picture of the ROI of that degree.  But it doesn't tell you anything about whether they're happy or otherwise feel good about their life.  You can go to medical school and make a lot of money as an MD but they also have the highest rate of suicide.  That million dollar salary might not look so great after you end up paying 75% of it on alimony and child support.  Making money is nice but is it really the only important thing?
