    I would choose Chemical Engineer because I am good at math, I like to do Chemistry and the pay is also one of the best.
    My second option is to be Physics because I would like to keep expanding my knowledge of science and try to be accepted into a good college.
    My third option is to be an Engineer and build better roads better electronics and more improved cars.

    From the “Methodology” section,

    “Full-Time, Civilian Employees Only: Only graduates who are employed full-time, not on active military duty and paid with either an hourly wage or an annual salary are included.

    Self-employed, project-based, and contract employees are not included. For example, project-based graphic designers and architects, and nearly all small business owners and novelists, are not included.”

    These studies never include the “reserve army of labor” which would bring down these salaries considerably across the board.
