1.石油工程(Petroleum Engineering)
Degree Level: Masters
Early Career Median Pay: $96,500
Mid-Career Median Pay: $173,000
Percent High Job Meaning: 74%
专业前景分析
石油工程专业主要培养的是在石油工程领域从事油气井与完井工程、采油工程、油藏工程、储层评价等方向的工程设计、工程施工与管理、科学研究与科技开发等方面的高级工程技术人才。石油工程专业主要学习如何寻找新的石油以及开采新油井，评估开采项目的价格效率比。所以申请该专业对学生的物理，数学，化学和计算机成绩有较高要求。
美国石油工程专业就业，其实，石油工程师并不一定要在油田附近工作，实际上，许多工程师都是在摩天大楼里办公。美国现阶段减少了在美国本土的石油开采项目，该专业毕业生的就业受到一定冲击，但同时由于该专业毕业生较少，就业市场竞争不太激烈。在本科毕业生中，石油和煤业工作者最吃香，平均起薪达6万美元/年。一般该专业毕业生都去了石油公司工作，待遇很好。
2.麻醉护理(Nurse Anesthesia)
Degree Level: Masters
Early Career Median Pay: $139,000
Mid-Career Median Pay: $159,000
Percent High Job Meaning: 79%
专业前景分析
1.美国护士严重短缺
美国缺少护士，近年来护士短缺程度达到了新高，美国由于在战后婴儿潮出生的人大都步入中年，健康问题随之而来。根据美国劳工部的最新统计，美国每年护理人才缺口12万人，截止到2012年，累计护士缺口高达100万人，而本地年轻的护士又补充不足，导致美国护士严重缺乏。
2.美国护士移民条件宽松
由于护士严重缺乏，多年来护士在美国职业移民种类中成为最容易申请移民的专业。也就是说，在美国只要你考取了注册护士，就等于完成了移民，护士移民条件宽松，审批周期短。目前美国劳工部把护理职业列入劳工缺乏的A类职业，美国移民局将优先处理外籍护士办理居留美国案件。
3.薪资福利待遇全球最高
美国护士是目前世界护理行业中薪资福利待遇最高的，美国法律规定：外国护士在美从事护理工作必须享有与美国本国护士同等的待遇和福利。目前美国注册护士平均起薪为每小时25美元至30美元不等，每周工作40小时，超时为一倍半薪金，节假日为双薪。注册护士年收入为5万—10万美金不等。

top 34的master degrees里面，金融硕士比金融学士的排名提升了10位，到了22了。
当然，槽点依旧，就是很多专业都是重复的，改个名字，但是课程体系和内容是相同，相近或者由同样的模组构成的。比如，ECE，信息技术与信息管理，还有信息安全。不过，类似专业不同名字的薪资差别竟然这么大，也是值得深入研究的一个问题。
总体的感觉就是一句俗话，学好数理化，走遍天下都不怕。现在我们可以加一个，学好数理化和IT电子，走遍天下都不怕。其实物理和数学能够搞掂的人，估计读什么都没什么问题了。电子的基础是物理，计算机的基础是数学，信管的基础是计算机和网络。不过是难度逐级下滑罢了。越偏management的专业，越好读。
