Deciding what to study at university is hard enough without thinking about the stage that comes after it (we’re talking about when you have to go out, get a job and make some money).
Nobody really thinks about their potential earnings when they’re a student (because they’re too busy thinking about where to go for a night out) but it is important.
Which is probably why Emolument, a salary rankings website, has put together a list of the most profitable degrees.
In other words, these are the courses that will earn you the most money five years after graduation (based on approximations of course)…
1. Economics (€62,000)
2. Law (€58,000)
3. Maths/Statistics (€53,000)
4. Chemistry/Natural Sciences (€52,500)
5. Accounting/Business/Finance (€51,000)
6. Engineering (€51,000)
7. Computer Sciences (€51,000)
8. Physics/Life Sciences/Healthcare (€49,700)
9. Management/Strategy (€49,700)
10. History/Geography/Politics (€46,900)
