Forbes’ Most Lucrative College Majors

The field of psychoanalysis has gotten the Hollywood treatment over the past decade, being featured on a hit TV show, The Sopranos, and two movies starring Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro, Analyze This and Analyze That.

The reality is that few psychology majors move on to graduate school–and the career path for the rest of the group: not so rich.
