Major: Political Science (This Major's Salary over time)
The University of Chicago is primarily a graduate school. Nonetheless, one has to wonder whether these graduate programs even deserve to exist. The degree was of absolutely no value, even in a Washington DC policy job. In principle, a PhD in political science should be relevant to policy. In practice, it was not. The value of the degree is negative: it led to my being denied opportunities that I would have had with a different degree (for instance, Law). I eventually repudiated the degree, and demanded that the University delete it from the records.
