 TITLE: How Does Your Major Affect How Much You Should Borrow in Student Loans? CONTENT: Popular College Majors and Expected Salaries\n--------------------------------------------\nOne of the most important things to consider when deciding how much student loan debt to take on is how much you expect to make once you start working. While it's impossible to know the future, it's wise to study up on the average income for jobs you'll be qualified for once you graduate. If the average income for your chosen field of study is on the lower end of spectrum, you'll likely have a harder time paying back large amounts of student debt.\nAccording to the U.S. Department of Education, here are the expected salaries for 25- to 29-year-old workers with bachelor's degrees in 10 popular fields:\n1.  Computer and information sciences: $70,100\n2.  Finance: $65,300\n3.  Accounting: $60,000\n4.  Nursing: $58,700\n5.  Political science and government: $50,600\n6.  Communications and communication technologies: $45,600\n7.  History: $45,100\n8.  English language and literature: $44,600\n9.  Education: $43,000\n10.  Liberal arts: $40,300\nOf course, your expected salary can be more than that if you choose to get a graduate degree. Your future income can also vary depending on the different career choices you make after graduation. But in general, it's good to get a basic idea of what you can expect. END
