Top college majors for earning and employment - 'community building' is way at the bottom

Have no idea what the heck 'community building' may be nor do I care to find out. Sounds very much like 'community organizing.'
The least lucrative majors: Studio and fine art, human services and community building, and composition and rhetoric, or the study of speaking and writing—all in the bottom five.

the fact that college is now trade school is just sad

That list doesn't make a lot of sense.

A new report from The Cashlorette analyzed median incomes and unemployment rates for U.S. adults with only a bachelor’s degree across 173 different majors
quote:Well Clinical Psychology is a graduate degree so I don't even know why it's on a list of bachelor's degrees.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is clinical psychology, which came in as the least valuable college major. In addition, clinical psychologists have a high unemployment rate of around 8% and make a median salary of $43,092, about 31% less than the average.

Well, maybe it goes to show that, even with a graduate degree, Psychology majors are wasting their time.

If college was a trade school it would get kids ready for the real world....college is an indoctrination into socialism.

So clearly whatever they are supposed to be measuring, is not being measured very well.

That's because liberal arts degrees vary a lot from school to school. For example there is probably a big difference between a history degree from Harvard versus Alabama. There is not that much difference between a Mechanical Engineering degree from LSU versus Georgia Tech...both have the same accreditation, same text books and required to take the same exams to qualify by state law as an engineer.

You must have chosen a shitty major and friends if you believe that.

I agree the list is bullshite, because it only addresses the undergraduate degree.
Plenty of people major in Political Science, English, etc., and then go to law school or B School and do fine. Lumping them in with the others is questionable.

No! The pharmacist who works at your local pharmacy, in your local CVS, or in your grocery store's pharmacy most definitely DOESN'T have a doctoral degree. My local pharmacist only has a bachelor's. I have a friend who is a pharmacist in a hospital and has a master's. So, no!

I wonder where gender studies falls?

Fo real! That's all we talked about in my science classes.

Maybe some "community builders" also get money from other off the books sources.

2 things:
1 - My degree is in Business (but I'm very observant)
2 - I have no friends

There you have it.

Why, you certainly had free time as a business major.

All graduating pharmacists must now obtain the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree before they are eligible to sit for the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) to enter into pharmacy practice.
quote:They may have been grandfathered in, but the PharmD requirement dates back to 1997, so the majority will have a PharmD.
