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. 6/4/2008 1:29:52 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.6/4/2008 2:04:16 PM |

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 |

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.
