What should we guess next?!
Can you guess the top 10 highest paid bachelor's degrees in 2026? Well, give it a shot. See if I can put mine to work. First guess, the smarty pants, engineers. You need to be more specific. Engineering is the top eight of the top 10 degrees. Top eight? Oh, my gosh. You're asking a guy with a marketing degree to do a lot of math tier. Mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is number six. Alright. We got one. Chemical engineering? Chemical engineering is number one. Number one, I'm surprised the guys mixing potions are making all the money for them. Computer engineering. Is that engineering? Computer engineering is number two rank computer science is number five. I'll give you both of them. Okay. We got the one two punch. Love it. Oh, electrical, the sparkies. Sparkies are number four. Aerospace. Aerospace engineers are number three. I'll give you a hint. Concrete. Materials. Bulldozers. Construction engineer? Yes. Number seven and number eight are construction slash civil engineer. You're left with number nine and number 10, which are not engineering. So I got all the engineers. Oh, my gosh. There's a gaggle of y'all. I went to school for the wrong thing, folks. Business degree. That is not on the list. You can tell me. Break my little heart. Business is not on the list, but a cousin of businesses. A cousin? Oh, I know who it is. You accountants. Not accountants. It's way too confident for that. Finance. Finance is number 10. Finance, if you will. Give me a hint. GDP. Gross domestic product? Economist? Economics is number nine. Drop in the comments what you got your degree in, and let us know what we should guess next.
