But do you have a Master's or PhD beyond your Zoology degree? Consider the "higher degree holders" column on the right--the majority of zoology folks in this chart have got something else on top of their bachelor's to aid in that salary. Presumably the 78% of pre-med majors with higher degrees have an MD, for example. You don't get a salary of $130,000 if you get a pre-med degree and then stop; if anything, those are the guys dragging down the salary average of the 78% who went all the way.
Actually, now that I think about it, I'd bet that a lot of those Zoology undergrads surveyed went on to be veterinarians, who get paid almost as much as people-doctors.
