We all know that some college majors make way bigger bank than others, and a new study has definitively revealed 2019’s most lucrative degrees.

Salary comparison website PayScale’s College Salary Report, which analyzed data from graduates of more than 2,500 schools, found that the highest-paying college majors are almost all STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees.

As it turns out, petroleum engineering is America’s highest-earning bachelor degree, paying its holders a median salary of $94,500, with zero to five years of experience. That jumps to an average of $175,900 after ten years.

The most common job for petroleum engineering majors is, as expected, being a petroleum engineer, and other jobs include working in industry sales and as cost estimators.

The second highest-paying degree, according to the report, is electrical engineering and computer science, which has an early career median pay of $88,000 and a mid-career median salary of a solid $142,200.

Let me first say this: Trends never really go “out.” If you love something, even if it’s not that popular, by all means go for it. That said, there are certain looks I personally have never been that into and always kind of hoped would fizzle away—one of which is light-wash jeans.

While this denim style has crept around for years, it seems to be making an even larger impact this season. I’ve always preferred darker-wash jeans because I thought they were ideal for a streamlined, polished look, but I’m coming around to the lighter styles. Not only is the look on trend, but it also gives a cool, laid-back, almost retro twist to any ensemble. Who doesn’t want that, right?

To showcase the vibe further, I’m showcasing 10 fashion girls wearing light jeans that convinced me to change my mind on the polarizing trend. Keep scrolling for more, and shop a few pairs while you’re at it.
