Date: Aug 28 2005 Major: (This Major's Salary over time) I had a liberal arts education and never got any graduate degree. I was lucky to have chosen the field of banking in 1983 and even luckier to have done well in it. (I took a deep cut to move from New York to California in this post 911 world and I am still paying 6 figure in taxes.) What I did for a living was not taught at any school in 1983 and the broad exposure and character / confidence building in my college years suit me very well in both my career and personal development since then. Having graduated from a brand name school certainly helped to open some doors in the first few years.
