BLS 2025 wages · 2025–35 projections · O*NET 31.0. O*NET 31.0 Database by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/ETA). Used under the CC BY 4.0 license. CollegesRef has modified all or some of this information.
Where the figures come from and how careers connect to majors.
Median pay is the national median annual wage from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey. Growth and openings come from the BLS Employment Projections. Each career page names the data year, and a figure the BLS does not publish is shown as not reported rather than estimated.
They are the Holland (RIASEC) interest areas used by O*NET: Realistic (hands-on), Investigative (ideas and research), Artistic (creating), Social (helping people), Enterprising (leading and persuading) and Conventional (organizing data and records). Most careers are a mix, so each one lists its strongest two or three.
You rate short activities as like, not sure or dislike. Your answers add up to a score for each interest area, and careers whose interest profile is closest to yours are listed first with the reasons. It takes a few minutes, needs no account, and you can skip any item.
The NCES CIP–SOC crosswalk links fields of study to occupations. We roll it up to the four-digit program codes colleges report, so the majors listed are related programs rather than the only route in. College results use each college's own program earnings from College Scorecard.
