Maybe a graphic indication that this is the top and bottom 5 as well: add a space in the middle with some ellipses or something of the sort.

Any field that is viewed as a lucrative field will eventually produce graduates until it is no longer lucrative

Ah! Thank you! So many different ways to display data, it’s hard to know which charts/graphs are which and keep track of what they’re called! :)

Can we get some sort of "time vs cost of getting said degree" info as well? :O

This probably varies so much that it would be irrelevant. Sociology degrees and chemical engineering degrees basically cost the same within a school. The biggest difference will be scholarships and cost of the school.

Interesting graph but really difficult to read due to the colors. I'd probably just do arrows, and you could color them blue/red depending on an increase/decrease.
