Returning to or starting college can be a wonderful time for many students, full of opportunities to make new friends or reunite with old ones — and to finally be free of childhood bedrooms and parents’ watchful eyes. But with the unpacking of dorm room boxes and registering for classes also comes the crippling anxiety that you’re one step closer to the real world.

A report out Thursday by the advocacy group Young Invincibles aims to help students deal with that last part by providing a rough guide to success post-college. The study highlights the top 25 jobs for millennials based on factors such as pay, the field’s projected growth over the next several years and the share of young people working in each job. Young Invincibles researchers analyzed Bureau of Labor Statistics data and projections to come up with their findings.

Not surprisingly, the bulk of the jobs — 13 out of 25 — are in the in-demand and well-paid sectors of science, math, engineering or technology. Mid-career workers in these so-called STEM fields earn $76,000 a year on average compared with $61,000 for all college majors, according to a report published earlier this year by Georgetown’s Center on Education and the Workforce. But there is still some hope for students interested in pursuing more writing or communications-focused fields; public relations managers, therapists and others made the list as well.

“For this generation, the pathway to prosperity is pretty diverse,” said Tom Allison, the co-author of the report and Young Invincibles’ deputy director of policy and research. Still, Allison said he would encourage undecided students to consider science or technology related majors, given the report’s findings.

The staffers at Young Invincibles came up with the idea for the report after getting questions from students across the country about what they should do in college to maximize their chances of landing a gig post-school, Allison said. “They might have an idea of what they’re interested in, but they don’t know what they should study to get them a job that will help them repay their student loans, be able to save up for a house or just generally be economically stable.”

But the report only gets at part of that equation — the best jobs for students post-graduation. The study doesn’t directly answer the question of how college students get to those fields. That’s largely due to a lack of data on the job-placement and salary outcomes of various colleges and majors, Allison said. The Department of Education is slated to roll out a tool later this year that could help provide some of that data, after walking back an initial plan to compare and rate colleges.

“The frustrating thing is we can’t map out exactly what the path is to these occupations,” Allison said. “We’re wringing our hands about what the future of higher education is going to look like and it would be really easy if we could unlock all of this information.”

Though experts like Allison are clamoring for more data on the relationship between schools, majors and post-graduation outcomes, he cautioned students from relying too heavily on that data or even his organization’s job rankings at the expense of pursuing their passion or truly expanding their horizons while in school. “We certainly don’t want to dis-incentivize or discount those sorts of things,” he said.
