Yep you touch on the subject of how many degrees are useless in the job market after graduation.
The worst examples may be fields such as Women’s Studies or Gay Studies, or Black Studies. On some level, these courses and majors could be interesting. The study of women could be interesting as an academic interest. HOWEVER, how many employers have job openings for women’s studiers, or black studiers, or philosophers who have majored in Philosophy?
Even those who major in traditional fields such as history or English literature have great difficulties in today’s job market. The business world just doesn’t care that you majored in such subjects.
“The study of women could be interesting as an academic interest. “
Yes, actually I did a great deal of that when I was in college.....

I have talked to some who majored in history at our local university, they don’t know the history I learned in public elementary school, yes I said elementary, they couldn’t qualify to ENTER the public high school history class at a freshman level in my time. This makes me wonder what those who majored in other subjects are actually learning.
