<p>I found this to be kinda funny, but there is some truth to them. It shouldn't be taken too seriously though. check it out.</p>
<p>Good Find</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Haha #9 is so true. I looked at this expecting to find my major (psychology) and I was quite surprised that it wasn't on there. Psych. is a useless major to choose unless you're planning on going to grad school... It probably just missed the list. haha.</p>
<p>That was funny :)</p>
<p>Funny and true.</p>
<p><em>le gasp</em> Philosophy and Religion, useless??? I dare to disagree. You can always become a professor of those and earn big bucks at universities. :)</p>
<p>I'm just glad History isn't on there, because I would have positively exploded if it was.</p>
<p>I don't believe that these majors are useless either, but it's still an entertaining article :) There is an element of truth (but obviously not the whole truth), and that makes it funny.</p>
<p>lmao that was...interesting..to say the least.
very funny</p>
<p>wow. two of my possible major choices appear on that list. currently i'm an art history major. haha my second choice is english lit.</p>
<p>guess i'm stuck with environmental science anyways.</p>
<p>Stupid list. :| The writer didn't even bother to know what the majors meant. Communications does NOT mean how people communicate. It's for people who want to go into TV broadcasting and what not.</p>
<p>You can take any of those majors and with transferrable work skills get an excellent job. May not be in your exact field, but you can work and have a good education. And there are jobs in those fields, too.</p>
<p>Name one job in the field of philosophy that doesn't involve getting a job at a university. Anyone thinking pumping gas, lol?</p>
<p>If the person who majored in philosophy has good writing and communication skills he/she can market him/herself. Recently one of the finest teachers at the private school my D's attend was a philosophy major. He was excellent. He taught a variety of courses, not all philosophy. Its possible. A woman I know majored in art history at Smith. She took her analytical skills, attention to detail and writing skills and now is a top dog for a major investment firm. Its all about how you market the skills and knowledge that you have, and thinking outside the box.</p>
<p>"Stupid list. :| The writer didn't even bother to know what the majors meant. Communications does NOT mean how people communicate. It's for people who want to go into TV broadcasting and what not."</p>
<p>The reader didn't even bother to click the appropriate link to the major in question. Communications is NOT for people who want to go into TV broadcasting and what not. It means how people communicate.</p>
<p>See: The</a> Major — Communication Studies</p>
<p>Mass communications is usually for people who wants to go into broadcasting. I'm not really sure what the Communications major itself really teaches.. besides maybe public speaking and how people communicate... which is pretty obvious in the name itself. </p>
<p>I think Logicians can have a pretty good chance at computer programming and whatnot. Even though there may not be a direct job path in Philosophy itself besides teaching, it would be ridiculous to say Philosophy students are doomed to working at McDonalds.</p>
<p>I think the article misses the point entirely. Those degrees are only worthless if you're treating a four-year college or university as a vocational school. Really, are "what job you'll be able to get" and "how much money you'll make" the only criteria by which to judge a course of study?</p>
<p>Interesting article..</p>
<p>Wow, 2 of my possible majors are on that list. Flim & Psychology.:P Anyone know first hand if it's actually very hard to find work with a degree in film?</p>
<p>This article makes me sleep with a smile since my major is listed. Look out world, cause here I come!</p>
<p>As most intelligent people who major in these areas know, a UG degree is just the first step, and these majors usually lead on to graduate work (My dtr is a philosophy/poli sci/studio art student who is going on to intellectual property specialization in law school. My English lit degree was step 1 to an MS in medical library sci (faculty appt at med school) and later to a Communication MA (I was then an editor and head of agency publications). A previous poster was correct--college is NOT a vocational/career school. It teaches you think and provides the basis for a fuller education and/or professional field. (but the article was still entertaining!)</p>
<p>lol. both of my majors on that list. english and philosophy. uselessness all the way.</p>
