While engineering and computer science graduates typically enjoy strong employment prospects and higher salaries, their specialized skills limit their versatility across industries. The report notes a significant decline in entry-level hiring for several fields, including engineering and computer sciences, over the past few years. It ranks majors by their versatility in securing jobs outside traditional career paths, with English and Visual & Performing Arts leading the list.
