“Human services and community organization ranked second lowest, with a median annual paycheck of $41,000.”

But you can become the pResident.

I majored in History, but near the end of my time in university began taking accounting and computer courses at the local community college (and continued that afterward along with starting out as a lowly clerk). Needless to say, glad that I discovered and focused on something practical like that.

The education field is also unique in that it provides job security. "It's high security but low wages," Anthony Carnevale, director of the Center on Education and the Workforce tells us. "So you have to ask yourself what you value — security or wages?"

I don't think that even the security is there anymore.

None of my kids expressed any interest in the fluff majors. I told them they are welcome to major in anything they want, as long as they can tell me what job it leads to and what the job prospects are for people with that degree. They all chose wisely.

My daughter-in-law is in the 1st year of a PhD in “music theory”. The cost includes the sacrifice of raising her daughters and prioritization of degree over family.

Beyond stupid.

“Early Childhood Education” was the lowest paying. No kidding (pun intended) we used to call it BABYSITTING!

Since teachers are paid typically very very good wages, it’s amazing that education majors dominate this list. Until you realize that it becomes a catch-all major for people who begin to recognize they can’t hack it in another field, and all they need to do is jump through assinine hoops to get an ed degree.

I have friends who are teachers...they make good money, plus they have a couple months off in the summer.

The other advantage is they can teach, yet be home when their children are home.
