Which Degrees Are Worth It

MSN Money – Is your degree worth $1 million — or worthless? – Saving for college

Find out which degrees and fields pay off, based on average amount spent obtaining the degree and average increase of lifetime salary. Youâ€™ll probably be happiest, though, if you donâ€™t dig yourself deeply in debt for a field that traditionally doesnâ€™t pay well. Make sure the size of your investment, in time and money, bears some relation to your eventual reward.
