Potential errors in Graduates dataset #151

Description

Reported by a user:

When looking at the numbers, they seem very high. For example, looking
at psychology, your data file lists 1574224 recent bachelor degrees for
2010. However, the nsf website only lists 180,000:

Moreover, it seems that only about 2mil bachelor degrees are awarded in
the US per year, which makes the 1.5 mil recent psych bachelor degrees
unlikely.

Is it possible that there is an error in the data? Decimal points read
as thousand separator perhaps?
