This is the unfortunate down side to not having med, law, engineering etc...on the big money maker degrees.
This was a well done database. I don't always take too much value in the random things you see online in these articles but this was well put together and I think has some value.

At least we finally got the PhD in Psychology program. They make pretty good dough. Don't know how long it will last given the low participation figures.

Of course! You can't measure the qualitative value. This article was mainly about being able to pay off student loans over the course of your life and measuring the value of what you paid for in your degree. The article even admits that there isn't a perfect way to look at this stuff.

Re: Value of a degree from App vs 4500 others
This is neat, but only shows the $$ value of an education as it relates to earnings. It doesn't show the value of personal growth, friendships, discovery, etc, that you get and the value they hold after.
Cheesy, but a college degree is worth a lot more than the dollars you get. Granted, if I had less debt from it, I would be better off!
