The 6 college majors that make the most millionaires
Your college major won’t determine your fate, but it can significantly impact how much money you make after college.
Unsurprisingly, many of the biggest names in business, like Mark Cuban and Warren Buffett, majored in business, and many others went on to study at the country’s top business schools. Two notable tech titans, Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, didn’t graduate college at all — though that isn’t the norm.
Outside of the business major, there are a slew of other disciplines that help people more easily reach their financial goals.
Check out which undergraduate majors make the most millionaires, according to Edvoy.
#6: Law/Pre-Law
Not every college allows a major in law, but being a pre-law track is a path to success for many people looking to make money after college.
#5: Computer Science
Computer science is a great choice for those searching for high salaries after graduation.
#4: Mathematics
Although it might not seem like the most obvious choice, strong math skills can help people succeed in fields like finance and equip students for the workforce.
#3: Politics
According to Edvoy, politics is a strong choice for humanities-focused students still looking to earn money after college.
#2: Economics/Finance
This is a degree that goes by many names — economics, finance, business — but for those set on entering a lucrative career field, it’s probably one of the best choices.
#1: Engineering
Engineering is a lot more than just building bridges and is the top field for students who want to become millionaires, according to Edvoy. Some of the richest people in the world, like Mexican businessman Carlos Slim and Amazon (AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos, studied engineering in college.
