Veterinarian. Though you need advanced degrees for that and it also helps to be entrepreneurial, as you make more starting your own practice than joining someone else's.
Pre-med should be up there too for the same reason, though there's more diversity in degrees for people who go on to become doctors.
Thanks. Didn't think of that. But right, a zoology BS is the obvious prerequisite for vet school.
But the data would be a lot more useful if aggregated by terminal degree. I tried to look at the data,[0] but it won't display for me. Too much stuff blocked in my Firefox, I guess :(
Yes, data by terminal degree would be a lot more useful. Zoology is basically useless at earning more money than a generic degree unless you go onto becoming a full-on vet, so it's not the zoology degree that's increasing income but the graduate degree. And that graduate degree is expensive. Contrast with CS, which didn't make this list, but which by itself does substantially increase income over the generic undergrad degree.
