We're still in the middle of summer, but the Back-To-School season is just around the corner. Many of you will either be entering university or are going to start thinking about your college plans very soon. We all want to follow our dreams, but in the middle of an economic downturn, one can't help but wonder: which job will make me the most money? We've got some stats to give you just the answer.

The data below is based on a recent PayScale study of over 1.2 million users who volunteered both education and salary information.

In terms of return on investment (i.e., which major is going to make you the most bucks), Engineering is where it's at. Aerospace, chemical, computer, electrical, mechanical, and environment engineering are among the top ranked money-makers.
The lowest-paying jobs include social work, education, music, theology, and hospitality/tourism. It's a shame that these majors are among the least-paid, especially considering the enormous impact these folks are making on society, i.e., helping those in need and educating our future money-makers engineers.

For more information about how you can get the most bang-for-your-buck at college, including which universities produce the highest salaries, read the rest of the study here.
What do you think - would you rather major in something that will yield a higher paycheck, or do you care less about money and more about doing something you love?
