Answer:
Majors, as well as GPA and standardized test results all influence latter chance for employment and future income
Explanation:
Student's major, and standardized test results all influence later chances for employment and future income. A student's GPA should positively affect income as well (Oehrlein 2009) . This is approved both by screening theory and human capital theory. Screening theory says that employers tend to hire students with higher college GPA. Based on human capital theory, students often have less working experience and therefore their college grades are best example of their abilities and working habits. Some majors are also higher paying, because they are riskier or more challenging, like medical science or engineering. Also, some majors give more straightforward training like the one in computer science, making higher grades more desirable.
