Useless College Majors
Well, here’s some potentially disheartening information for a select group of college students. According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ (NACE) 2012 Job Outlook study, the following five majors are considered the most “useless”. In other words, you’re basically just wasting your money and setting yourself up for a career full of disappointments if you pursue any of these fields of study:
- Agriculture
- Fashion design
- Theater
- Animal science
- Horticulture
The study cites a lack of job growth or demand, or (in the case of fashion and theater) the fierce competition to get noticed.
I say to hell with the research! Study what you want in school. How many people actually work in their field anyway? You can always find some kind of job if you’re resourceful enough, so do what you want!
