"Are workers with a two-year degree earning exactly the same as someone who's got the four-year degree? Not necessarily," Sudarshan Sampath, director of research at PayScale, tells
. "But I do believe that there are certain job titles and certain career paths that you can take with a two-year degree that at least allows for you to have a comfortable living.
But Sampath cautions students against studying with a specific job in mind. Instead, he emphasizes that students should focus on the kinds of skills that a given major or degree can teach them. Degrees such as software engineering and project management, for example, can be used in a wide range of industries and roles.
"What you are getting from a major is a set of skills," says Sampath "And a lot of these skills translate across a lot of different occupations."
