Kathryn Walter had already posted about it last week. https://connect.informs.org/discussion/or-as-the-top-earning-college-major#bm2cba62db-2c06-423f-bb36-f9fa69fb8f8e
Also, I had commented with some issues with the analysis provided. Bottom line, the results appear to only be derived from 3 schools and we probably shouldn't put much stock in the number. While I want the good news and like money as much as anyone else, I don't think we can ethically agree with these numbers or support the analysis as is (despite how ever much we might want to!).
