Gender Studies
translation: We think the Government should use it’s big stick to FORCE society to value this more and raise salaries.
I think quite a few of those degrees are earned by people who, going in, knew the rewards would not be financial.
Trick is to get the degree without going into student loan debt.
Peace studies, Philosophy and English
Two days and $695 invested would probably earn you more than any of these majors.

One of my daughters has a BS degree in “family studies” from a well-known public university. She has never been unemployed, worked in a variety of public and private social agency situations and in several allied activities such as public relations, fund raising, case management, counseling, nutrition etc. Her pay has been about that of a public school teacher, but probably more rewarding these days.

That worthless site isn’t working for me today, probably because I refuse to let it deliver an ad to my screen.
That said, I’m guessing my engineering major isn’t on the list.
In my first “real” job, I was a polysci major working with a sociology major and a humanities major. My boss was a psychology PhD. My peers with philosophy and psychology degrees got similar work. We were all in IT, and did just fine with our “soft” science degrees.
That is one of the funniest ripofs of that guy I’ve ever seen!
LOL!
Very surprising that health and medical professions would be on this list.
HA!
Very funny! Did you create the words used?
I think a list of degrees that don’t lead directly to any job would be more useful. I would guess that most people going into most of these careers know the pay is pretty dismal; the people I know who have them are more service oriented than money oriented.
That said, just about any bachelor’s degree can help you get various office jobs or at least get your foot in the door to something. My sister has a bachelor’s in Music, which got her the office job that eventually lead to an IT job she loves. The problem with most people with “worthless degrees” is that they want a job in their major, which is never going to happen.
