Which university degrees pay the most?

Stuff.co.nz today reported that "school-leavers aiming for a well-paid job after university should study engineering or health sciences, a new government report suggests.  Meanwhile, those less concerned about salary should consider tourism, performing arts, visual arts, and graphic and design arts.

The new report will be of interest to educators as well as parents and taxpayers as funders.
