Having a science or engineering bachelor's degree is a boon

No matter what you choose to do with your life after college, having a science or engineering bachelor's degree is a boon, according to a National Science Foundation survey released last week. In a survey of adults with science and engineering undergraduate degrees, only 27% had science or engineering occupations, but 63% working in non-technical fields still said that their jobs related in some way to their degrees. Even those who had followed up their science and engineering degrees with advanced degrees in other fields reported that scientific knowledge remained necessary for them.
