Other high-paying majors on Zippia's list include numerous science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, including applied mathematics, physics and chemical engineering.
"Like most other studies that look at the link between earnings and majors, the highest paying majors are STEM or have some basis in math, such as economics and finance," says Kolmar. "These majors lead to jobs that are in high demand — jobs that have a need for analytical skills or specific types of sciences.
"When you're selecting a college major, you should consider how that choice will set you up for your career. If you're looking to snag a high-paying job out of college, you should ideally look for a subject you're passionate about, but that there's also a market for on the hiring front."
