No surprise engineers hold top six spots. Economics is first non-science/math major. Finance is 9 below Economics. International Business is first business major other than finance. Philosophy rates higher than Marketing and Communications, Environmental Science and business. Health and education majors fall near the bottom of the list.  SO WHAT TO DO IF YOU AREN’T AN ENGINEER, SCIENTIST OR MATH WHIZ? Take enough math and science courses so that you can “talk their language” and then be their business, financial, marketing or legal advisor. Be the person that translates inventions into dollars.
