I doubt that the poster would disagree that there are many jobs in the same category. Most of the jobs requiring degrees pay more than the others. I looked up salaries. No surprise that social work is around $40k while engineers make around $80k. If Some people are still trying to argue that all majors are equally difficult, the facts would dispute that. People don’t flunk out of social work and end up in engineering but the oppostite happens.

Social work? Geography? These are not legitimate majors.
Your kids will have to take a whole year of geography class growing up and you don't want the person teaching them to know what they're talking about in great depth?
Seems to be a lot of confusion here. Geography in the University context is a derived economics. It seems that many of you are equating geography with cartography which is common but only one part of the bigger overall picture.
