Is Community Organization and Advocacy Worth It?

Worth It - With the Right School

This is a more specialized field, offered at 21 schools in our data. Fewer options means less room to optimize on cost, so weigh each aid offer closely.

The top earner here is Northwestern University, where graduates pull $61,009 four years out. But an average hides a wide spread - where you go, and what you do with the degree, matter as much as the major itself.
