With the job market as volatile as ever, the chances of finding a job is factored in just as heavily as starting salaries and mid-career salaries. What good is a degree if you can’t even get a job, right?

6. Paralegal Studies
Paralegal studies used to be a much higher-paying job than it was, but over-saturation and demand for lower-paid paralegals and legal assistants have driven down starting salaries. The average starting salary for a paralegal studies graduate hovers around the mid $30,000's range. An alternate route for people dreaming of being a paralegal is to obtain an associate’s degree in paralegal studies, which seems to be enough to get a decent job in the field.
