A quick review confirms that there are many influencing factors that affect the choice of students when choosing a degree. These factors include talents, environment, peer pressure, family pressure/background, academic ability, the degree’s popularity and reputation, job availability, prospective earnings, employment rate in the public or private sector, and others.
