Myth 3: Choice of major matters more than choice of college.<\/h2>\n

Not so. In seven states \u2014 Arkansas, Colorado, Minnesota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington \u2014 students can search public databases for early earnings of graduates of institutions within the state. And those databases show that students who graduate from more selective schools tend to make more money. After all, the better the college, the better the professional network opportunities, through alumni, parents of classmates and eventually classmates themselves.<\/p>\n

These undergraduates are more able to pursue majors in lower paying fields because their networks help them land good jobs. Arts, humanities and social science majors are more prevalent on elite campuses than at second-tier colleges, where students tend to pick vocational majors like business, education and health. In all, more than half of students at less selective schools major in career-focused subjects; at elite schools, less than a quarter do, according to <\/span>an analysis by the website FiveThirtyEight<\/a> <\/span>of the 78 \u201cmost selective schools\u201d in Barron\u2019s rankings, compared with 1,800 \u201cless selective schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cStudents at selective colleges are allowed to explore their intellectual curiosity as undergraduates because they will get their job training in graduate school or have access to a network that gets them top jobs, regardless of their undergraduate major,\u201d Dr. Carnevale said.<\/p>\n

They are also more likely to have two majors than students at second-tier colleges, who tend to be more financially needy and have to work, affording less time to double major.<\/p>\n

One tip: Complementary majors with overlapping requirements are easier to juggle, but two unrelated majors probably yield bigger gains in the job market, said Richard N. Pitt, an associate professor of sociology at Vanderbilt University who has studied the rise of the double major. \u201cIt increases your breadth of knowledge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
