I saw on Greg Mankiw's blog a forbes link that says Economics degrees are the second best in terms of earnings just behind engineering degrees.
The most lucrative college majors
What would happen if you took someone from Art History and forced them to study Economics? Would they still earn more? Ok, standard econometrics point but people do select themselves in to degrees on the basis of things like how much they want to make money, so raw earnings rankings dont seem sensible even though they have become more prevalant as a ranking measure particularly for Business and MBA type degrees. Could be viewed, i suppose, as a measure of the earnings quality of the network you are buying in to.
