Most lucrative college degrees

There is a somewhat interesting article talking about the Most lucrative college degrees on money.cnn.com. The data comes from the National Association of Colleges and Employers so I guess that makes it legit. I thought it was interesting because when I was in school the top of the list looked like this:


1. Chemical Engineering
2. Electrical Engineering
3. Computer Science


Now the top of the list looks like this:


1. Petroleum Engineering
2. Chemical Engineering
3. Mining Engineering
4. Computer Engineering
5. Computer Science
6. Electrical Engineering


However, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering have such similar salaries that for all practical purposes they tied for fourth. Even so, that still means hat Mining and Petroleum bumped them out of the top three. I guess the world isn't as digital as we all though.
