I'd say glancing over this, it's mostly accurate... Don't see anything much I would disagree with.

Would also like to link the earnings on average by quadrant. I’m guessing the lower left is not that strong.

Interesting that the most conservative (mostly business) are also the most religious

Fine Arts at the bottom. That explains Hollywood.


PS - I'm joking. 90% of those dimwits didn't go to college.

These seem to mostly match experience/intuition. But some are a little puzzling - why are classics non-religious and archaeology religious?

speaking of quadrants, bottom right is a wasteland. No irreligious conservative majors at all.

In my first accounting job out of college we hired an older lady that was on the liberal side of things. She didn't last long. I knew back then that liberals weren't a good fit at CPA firms.

Archaeology pretty much nailed my position tho I’m a bit farther right. But not a representation of who I was in school with. Mostly left leaning atheists. If this chart got that wrong wonder what else they fricked up.

Same. Add staunchly religious and out earns 99% of my peers. Master of Arts to boot.

It's good to be an anomaly.

Not to take away from any accomplishments you’ve achieved or earned, but much of life’s successes tend to have a “right place, right time” aspect to them. JMO

Too many deep south maga country bubbas don’t make it to college. So this chart doesn’t tell us much. Hell, a lot of them don’t make it through regular grade school.

The source of it is also unknown and likely from a maga bubba propaganda peddler.

Finance is surprising to me, but I could see it.

Education I think is just wrong. It's one of the most leftist of all the majors.

Somebody should take one of those livestock brands and seer the letters "TDS" into your forehead. You are one pathetic pile of elephant dung.

I would 100% agree, among other factors, but according to most on the board English majors should not only be working in coffee shops, but the major itself shouldn't exist.

Why us? Yes I'm conservative. I only majored in it because numbers are easy and my original major was Atmospheric Sciences and I couldn't go to school full time, because of labs, and work full time. I went to the easiest thing on the list
