That list is based on bachelors degrees, not graduate degrees.
from the site:
"This chart is based upon PayScale Salary Survey data for full-time employees in the United States who possess a bachelor's degree and no higher degrees and have majored in the subjects listed above."
So? What's your point?
Would you expect a list of salaries by graduate degree to be significantly re-ordered? Maybe the graduate engineers will make the least and the graduate child and family studies majors will make the most?

Yikes. Calm down.
The person is asking about a graduate degree in counseling or social work, and that list is not going to tell the OP what kind of salary to expect with that. They didn't ask about salary anyway.
Anyway, a salary doesn't have to be at the top of the list to be livable.
As suspected soical workers do a bit better than general counseling, but really it just depends on what you do with it.

It does make a difference because a wide variety of fields will require statistics at the graduate level regardless if they are math heavy fields at the undergraduate level. Depending on the program, a graduate degree in education could include psychometrics. By the way, some of the majors at the bottom require science courses with math prerequisites. Take athletic training, for example. http://www.edb.utexas.edu/atep/conte...ee_2012_14.pdf

ETA: Just for ****s and giggles, the relevant links:
I know they didn't ask about salary. They asked about non-math degrees and I gave them a link to a list of non-math degrees. So what's the problem?
Because those were bachelors degrees. LOL. There are graduate programs that don't appear as undergrad majors. And anyway, that list doesn't tell you what requires math and what doesn't.
You are the one who brought up salaries, not me.
You sure are taking this personally. It wasn't personal. Chill.
I also was a very poor math student but had to take statistics in grad school. I met with a study group every week and we did all of our assignments together. Before a test, we all took the day off from work and studied together, making up tests and trying to anticipate what would be on the professor's test.
I would suggest that the OP find a good study group because there are usually people of all different levels and the ones who are strong in stats will bring you up. Also, since I am sure that the professor gives homework, make sure that it is done and that the answers are not only correct but are understood.
Is there a graduate degree that has absolutely no mathematics? I can think of two.

Dinosaur Riding
This offends me. I actually enjoy mathematics. I do well in math. However, I have not one but two grad degrees from colleges that would knock the socks off most academically inclined people.
Making fun of others and what they choose to study, diminishes only one person.
