which college leaves students in the most debt?

[perrik]

Can anyone provide articles or information on which degrees are most likely to give the best paychecks?

or...How many of the B.S. degrees don't pay enough and people need to go on to get an M.S. in their chosen field?

or...information or statistics on which degrees are more likely to result in immediate employment after completion?

Can't find any hard stats on that yet, but I would think that certain majors are highly employable straight out of the BS program - accounting, economics, applied mathematics, computer science, and the various engineering majors. By computer science I mean the hardcore stuff like systems architecture. Note that all of these majors require heavy mathematical and analytical skills.

To some extent, jobs in these fields can be outsourced, especially the lower-level stuff. The only jobs that really cannot be outsourced are hands-on, like anything involving direct patient care (physicians, nurses, allied health) or other physically-oriented work. If you want permanent job security and high pay, get a BSLS and a plumbing apprenticeship.
