Some people say if you want to make money after you graduatethat you should major in something echnical." A survey of 1400recent graduates showed that students who had taken two or moreclasses in statistics had an average salary of $42,571 (n = 428, s= 5600) while those who hadn't taken as many statistics courses hadan average salary of $38,200 (n = 972, s = 6000). Is theconventional wisdom true; should students that want to earn moreconsider taking statistics?
