Though newspaper reporter and broadcaster were considered the worst jobs of 2016, according to a study by CareerCast, new research suggests that media and communications majors can expect more rapid salary progression than those who graduate with degrees in engineering, law, and business.
According to a recent small study by Expert Market—which followed the salary growth of 200 college majors over 10 years following graduation from a bachelor’s program—those in media and communications as well as mathematics can expect to earn nearly 80% more after their first decade on the job, compared to their salary on day one.
