The lowest average was from majors where a people get jobs related to those majors. There are probably other majors where most people who get the degree don't get jobs related to those majors. Those in the field that do get jobs related to those specific majors might get paid decently well, but the majority who don't get jobs in the field don't benefit so much from the degree. They learn some things at college, maybe have a fun time while their at it, and some employers will consider having any four year degree to be positive, but still their are a lot of degrees that aren't worth all that much.

As for plumbing (an things like HVAC repair etc.) it's probably not a bad idea for more young people to consider such jobs as a good alternative to college. OTOH there was a huge shift to them the greater supply of workers in this area would drive down compensation for those workers.
