I was analyzing some campus climate data with my Professor, and realized that there are huge differences among subject of study for various ethnicities. Notably, a very large percentage of African-Americans studied the social sciences (particularly sociology/criminology) while more White-Americans and Asian-Americans were studying more profitable subjects of study, such as engineering and so on. The question then becomes, is economic inequality influenced by subject of study? Or is subject of study influenced by economic inequality? (or, of course, both intertwined) By this, I mean, perhaps those with better educations feel more confident to choose a "harder" subject of study, such as the hard sciences. Or perhaps if people witnessed or were victims of social injustice, that is what they want to combat, so they chose a social science. What do you think?
