Most Lucrative Undergraduate Degrees

In terms of average starting salary, economics is a pretty good choice (from CNN Money):

The average starting offer for seniors majoring in:

Economics: $51,631
Finance: $47,905
Marketing: $41,323
Business Administration: $43,523
Mechanical engineering: $54,587
Chemical engineering: $60,054
Management information systems: $46,568

OK, so maybe engineering is more lucrative, but then there is the compensating wage differential to consider.
