It pays to study Maths - literally!

Academics from Nottingham University examined data from more than 2,000 people born in 1970, looking at what each person should expect to earn, given their sex, family status, educational background and the area in which they lived by the age of 34. They concluded that pupils who take Maths at A level earned an average salary premium of 11%. No other A-level subject attracted a wage premium in the same way. The academics also found that the earnings premium for women with A-level maths was greater than that for men.
