Most worthless Major in University? - GoFuckYourself.com

BradM · 08-17-2005, 02:40 PM

Anyone know what it is?

Sarah_Jayne · 08-17-2005, 02:42 PM

'general studies'..why bother? However, any degree is what you make of it. I know lawyers that had media studies degrees to start out with, etc.

I resemble that remark!

It actually is a useless major. I took it because I wanted to get into radio, until I actually worked in radio and found out how crappy the pay was.

aico · 08-17-2005, 02:53 PM

don't know if it's really "worthless" but it's the general "cop-out" major because it requires the least credits to finish.

Psychology.

vvq · 08-17-2005, 02:53 PM

my friend recently got his Bachelors of Fine Art. he's travling to Italy this fall to become a beatnik.

Actually, my roommate got an Environmental Studies degree. Got paid to live in Costa Rica near the ocean to study rain forests, got paid to travel to China to do soil studies, going to get paid to live in Hawaii. Yea, granted the "pay" isn't huge, but damn - doing what you love and getting paid to travel to do it, sounds pretty cool.

Like sara_webinc said, "However, any degree is what you make of it"; it really is. Take my BA in Journalism -- yea, programming for adult sites really relates to that major.

tristan_D · 08-17-2005, 05:30 PM

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in sociology, and now I am working in retail; I also owe $20,000 in student loans. Please do not major in liberal studies or the social sciences (i.e., sociology, anthropology, psychology, women's studies, political science, ect.) unless you're willing to attend graduate school and become a professor and/or researcher.

Minte · 01-25-2006, 05:01 PM

I'd go with philosophy
The real talent of the guys I went to school with that were philosophy majors was they could roll a near perfect joint with one hand.

when i go back i'm going to do a masters in phil, or math.

It was the most boring, useless course I took.
wasn't even that easy a credit to get

TreasureBucks · 01-25-2006, 09:03 PM

all of them.

College is for sheep, with money to pay for it.

I got laid just as much, if not more, during my college years.

I always wanted to go to the International Academy of Art and Tech.

After being in the business for several years, and allready being succesful, I went to the local campus. They wanted $60,000 for tuition. I was like...... FUCK THAT!

For what? To teach me shit I allready know, just so i can have a peice of paper to get a limited paying job working for someone else?

BAAA!!!

Nismo · 01-25-2006, 09:05 PM

I'd have to say Communication Major is most worthless.

woj · 01-25-2006, 09:55 PM

If you go to school JUST to get the degree, then really most of the majors are useless... if you go to school to study what you are interested in, then none of them are useless...

BlueDesignStudios · 01-25-2006, 10:00 PM

I don't think it's the degree that's worthless, it's more the type of people who do a particular degree.. i.e. some degrees have students that are more competitive than others

BlueWire · 01-25-2006, 10:06 PM

I think what is common or easy is not necessarily the most useless.

Communications and general studies are what the jocks get...but these days your BA or BS doesnt matter that much for most fields and you can really argue that Communications gives you some people skills and perspective that are very valuable. General studies at the very least makes you rounded and have a wide knowledge.

I think most BS and BA's are worthless if you actually want to use them towards a specific career path as things are competitive enough (atleast in metro areas) where you need the masters or work experience. So because of this i'd say majors that do nothing but specialize you ...dont enlighten your perspective etc are the most worthless.

I would consider an English degree to be among the most worthless. Sure it sounds accomplished...but welcome to the real world where its really a meaningless piece of crap.

Kimmykim · 01-25-2006, 11:13 PM

English or American literature. If you don't plan to teach, there's nothing more useless for getting a job.
