According to Glassdoor, Criminal Justice and Kinesiology have the lowest starting salary of any U.S. college majors at $40,000. Exercise Science might keep you physically and mentally sharp but it's also at the bottom of the pay grade with the median base salary coming to $40,640.
At the opposite end of the scale, Statista's Niall McCarthy notes that Computer Science ($70,000), Electrical Engineering ($68,438) and Mechanical Engineering ($66,040) are the best majors to choose if you want a lucrative salary after you graduate.

Two points:
1. Criminal Justice at a starting salary of $40K still pays twice as much as the minimum wage job one would have w/o the degree(remember the days when you didn't need a degree to be a cop, chef, plumber, electrician, etc).
2. One has to be intelligent(i.e. smart and not just book smart) to earn a degree in Computer Science or Engineering. Not so for a lot of the other degrees.
Strange...according to your readers, teachers are ALWAYS overpaid...
