3:12Now PlayingShould you choose the highest paying major or something you are most interested in? Students and higher education expert Jared Meyer talk about what goes into choosing a major, what the worst, best and highest paying college majors are. What did you (or will you) major in - or did you take a different route? Let us know what you've learned in the comments.
Picking a major is one of the toughest questions college students face. Should you pick one that's fun, high paying, or flexible? While the best college major for you may be subjective, this conversation sheds some light into what other students are thinking - and what experts recommend.
We the Internet host Lou Perez talks with prospective students and undergraduates from UCLA and Santa Monica College about their choices, as well as Jared Meyer of the the Manhattan Institute (and now the Foundation for Government Accountability) and author of author of "Disinherited: How Washington is Betraying America's Young." They discuss what the worst college major is, how different college majors may fare in the future, whether the highest paid major (petroleum engineering) is the way to go, and whether majoring in something like Business or minoring in a field you are passionate about can offer flexibility that allows for higher paying jobs down the road while also providing a path to your dream job and an engaging college experience. If you're deciding how to choose your major (or minor), watch this short video for some valuable food for thought - and let us know yours in the comments.
