Public administration — where the official list says it leads
The U.S. Department of Education keeps an official table of which degree programmes lead to which occupations. Here it sits next to the paths this site writes for the same degree — where they agree, and where they do not. A degree still gets no score.

Public Administration
Fit with this page: the same programme
Official list vs our paths#
Both
—Only in the official list
—The official table matches programmes to occupations by curriculum; our paths follow where graduates actually go, including jobs the table predates. Neither column is the right one — the difference is the information.
The official list also names (no page here yet): Chief Executives · General and Operations Managers · Legislators · Transportation, Storage, and Distribution Managers · Postmasters and Mail Superintendents · Social and Community Service Managers · Managers, All Other
