Student-loan debt in the US continues to skyrocket. And at $1.2 trillion, it exceeds car loans and credit-card debt figures.
Between 1995 and 2015, the average sticker price for tuition at private colleges increased 179%, compared to an inflation increase 55.1% over the same period, according to the US News & World Report. At public universities, in-state tuition jumped 296%.
More now than ever, it seems that college students must think carefully about choosing their college majors and the future earning power of their chosen degrees.

Take a look below to see where your major and degree lands among the group.
