That list is stupid.
It's assuming that the holders of said degrees will go into an entry-level position in the field that they graduated from.
I know very few Psych majors (myself included) who are actually employed in the field. I sell insurance. A friend of mine is Project Manager at a major toy company. Another one is in sales.
Also, that list is short-sighted.
Most people I know at the top of that list cap out at around that amount or slightly more, if they don't end up unemployed. They don't take into account that Psych people are VERY good at non-major-specific jobs such as sales which can earn them $100,000 or more after a couple years.
