6/4/2008 1:19:48 PM

Africana Studies

6/4/2008 1:22:38 PM

6/4/2008 1:27:40 PM

Communications FTL!

6/4/2008 1:27:48 PM

i have degrees in #2 and #6

i'm 2 for 2 in jobs in those fields

of course, i'm awesome though

6/4/2008 1:28:31 PM

Where the hell is women's studies!!!1


but srsly, it might be a good list of "worthless to the general public" majors, but as long as it's got worth to those taking it I don't see why people would knock it.

I did Political Science, which some people on here seem to consider "worthless" but it's getting me into what I want to do, so it's not worthless to me.

Although, for the life of me I can't see anything worthwhile in Latin or Music Therapy (didn't even know this existed).

6/4/2008 1:28:44 PM

Can we back this up with any data on future earning potential? I would assume that would be the true value of worthlessness, not just random generalizations with nothing to back them up.

Wow, I have an undergrad degree in PRT and I make just barely under six figures. And, i have a job in the field unless like most who find it too hard to get into the field and go into teaching or some gay shit like that

6/4/2008 1:58:25 PM

There's a whole lot of butthurt in this thread

6/4/2008 2:00:11 PM

Well, yes, frankly. Why shouldn't I take it seriously? I understand joking around, but this is making rather sweeping accusations that aren't nessecarily true. If I'm going to look at something, I would rather see evidence about it's claims, otherwise I am wasting my time.

"turf grass mngt"

thats a offered major?

6/4/2008 2:15:47 PM

Turf Grass Management can actually be ludicrously profitable for people. Not to mention, peiopel with that degree tend to have fucking nice yards.

6/4/2008 2:19:41 PM

^yeah don't they get an internship with the PGA through state?

I would hope so, but they are limited with their degree. also you missed the chance to say: ludicrously lucrative

lost is a joke. but people keep watching.

i had a friend in PRT graduate and is now working for cocacola, pretty damn lucrative.

prt majors who have great personalities and work hard usually end up MUCH better than anyone else on that list.

6/4/2008 2:26:31 PM

^haha I'm banking on it

6/4/2008 2:28:30 PM

[quote]glad i didn't see statistics on there[quote]

Me too.

6/4/2008 2:28:41 PM

yup

6/4/2008 2:37:05 PM

I majored in Communications and my first job outta school I'm already banking more than the average college graduate with a business degree gets.

"worthless" is a very relative term.

I also have LOTS of opportunity to move up in the organization.

[Edited on June 4, 2008 at 2:51 PM. Reason : .]

6/4/2008 2:50:31 PM

^but do you think you got the job because you had a communications degree or because of your resume/personality/experience?
