  • Basketball superstar Michael Jordan was a geography major at the University of North Carolina.
  • There were only 3 civil engineering majors from the University of Montana. They all took the exact same job, earning the exact same salary at the same company.
  • Of the 35 finance majors from Wesleyan University, 32 got high-paying consulting jobs, and the other 3 were unemployed.
