 Skeptics of higher education often complain that universities offer too many boring degrees with little value in the workplace.  1  elite universities tend to produce higher-earning graduates than less selective institutions do, you might  2  them to teach more practical courses.  3  data from Britain's Department for Education show the opposite. Undergraduate students at  4  universities are more likely to study purely academic  5  such as philosophy and classics, whereas those at less choosy ones tend to  6  vocational topics such as business or nursing.
 What could  7  this seeming contradiction? One reason is that employers treat a  8  from a top university as an indicator for intelligence. This means that students at elite institutions can study bookish subjects and still succeed  9 . The median Cambridge graduate in a creative-arts subject—the university's least profitable group of courses, including fields such as music—earns around ₤25,000 ($32,400) at age 26. Economics students from less elite universities, such as Hull, make a similar  10 .
 Yet even though Oxbridge students can pretend to read "Ulysses" for years and still expect a  11  salary, they end  12  paying a large opportunity cost by pursuing the arts. That is because employers reserve the highest starting wages for students who both attended a leading university and also  13  a marketable subject.
 Many gifted arts students would struggle to deal with numbers. But for those who can excel at both, the cost of sticking with the arts is  14 . Cambridge creative-arts students have A-level scores close to those of economics students at Warwick, but  15  about half as much.
 Who can  16  such indulgence? The answer is Oxbridge students, who often have rich parents. At most universities, students in courses that  17  high-paying jobs, such as economics and medicine, tend to come from wealthier families, partly because such  18  are more likely to have the examination scores necessary to be accepted. At Oxbridge,  19 , no such association exists. History and philosophy students there come from richer parts of Britain, on average, than their  20  studying medicine do.

A
