those statistics are flawed for many reasons. A solid two are the fact that some people go for the academic enlightenment(aka the purpose of higher ed), and some majors are just stupid. You won't find "useless" majors at a tech school. The purpose of a tech is to make producers in a population, not invigorate intellectual innovation.
Comparing salaries is apples to basketballs. Positions are a good difference to discuss when describing starting pay. I'd rather have a cushy office chair job for 20 years than destroy my body and sanity wrenching.
I study cognitive neuroscience. I also happen to hold certs in the pharma/food stainless process piping field. Without a day in a trade school. Honestly, if anyone out of highschool wants a rec to a stainless company that can make your 92k starting working across the country, I'd be happy to give referrals.
