Salary Increase By Major | WSJ
Topic: Business 7:47 am EST, Dec 16, 2008

Your parents might have worried when you chose Philosophy or International Relations as a major. But a year-long survey of 1.2 million people with only a bachelor's degree by PayScale Inc. shows that graduates in these subjects earned 103.5% and 97.8% more, respectively, about 10 years post-commencement. Majors that didn't show as much salary growth include Nursing and Information Technology.

From earlier this year:

It will always suck to work for large organizations, and the larger the organization, the more it will suck.

It's not so much that there's something special about founders as that there's something missing in the lives of employees.

From last year:

The big law firms have to pay you $150,000, because a third of it is going to pay off your loans, and the rest of it is the minimum you'd really expect someone with that level of responsibility to be paid.
