Is this degree
actually worth it?
A straight answer for every major on the list — decision-oriented, not directory-style. Each page combines median earnings (Census PSEO, 1 / 5 / 10 years after graduation), median debt at graduation (College Scorecard), and labor-market projections (BLS 2024–2034) into a single verdict and an associate-vs-bachelor trade-off you can act on.
We aggregate across CIP codes and institutions to produce field-level numbers, then translate them into a plain-language verdict you can act on — worth it, worth it with caveats, or not for the cost.
Clinical & Counseling Psychology
A clear path to practice — but it runs through graduate school
Economics
Strong ceiling, dispersed destinations — the degree works when it's paired with a plan
International Relations
Strong long-run earnings, but the path there is indirect and grad-heavy
Political Science
A pipeline major — the headline numbers look better than what graduates actually experience
Psychology
A pipeline degree — the bachelor's alone rarely unlocks the field's own jobs
Sociology
Versatile degree, but the career map is frustratingly vague
No majors match that search.
