Many of those jobs titles listed under "Arts" are questionably categorized.
I could argue that being a Data Base Administrator is an art as well as a computer programmer.
It also showed Marketing Manager under Arts.

Well, at least I got editor right!
SF, I think the categorization is fine, if you look at it as BA vs. BS (which I think the article is doing).

Marketing is a BA? Not in my college.

I got more than half wrong - but really, in many cases the difference between the two salaries on average, across the country was less than 5%. It was pretty much a toss-up. Oh, one made $97,716 and the other makes $99,271 - I should have know - because that difference is so meaningful!

[Cookies Galore]

I dunno, what do I look like? A Marketeer?

It also showed Marketing Manager under Arts.

It may be inaccurate to call marketing an art, but I'd argue it's even less accurate to call it a science.

I think it is very difficult to categorize some positions. At my college, the difference between a BA and a BS was mostly determined by how many foreign language credits you took, not the major. Thus, DH has a BA in Environmental Science.

Econ is a BA at some schools and a BS at others.
