Underemployment risk comes mainly from college selectivity and degree field risk, with less selective colleges paired with high risk majors creating the greatest exposure. Major choice matters a lot, with fields like nursing, engineering, and finance or accounting leading to stronger odds of college level work, and economics tied to about a 30 percent lower underemployment rate and roughly 35,000 higher median earnings than history. Even within the same school, closely related majors can have dramatically different outcomes, like Berkeley economics versus anthropology and Texas A&M general business versus HR. I created majors tools to help students, counselors, and families ask sharper questions to decide what to study, including market demand, rigor, and whether grad school is needed.
