re: 13 most useless majors

There is also something to be said about the degree of subjectivity involved in those disciplines. The ability to make decisions with incomplete information is critical for managerial and executive roles. That is the greatest weaknesses I see in accounting and engineering majors who are trained to plug and play with equations.

The subjectivity is one of the main reasons that I changed my major. I was tired of my grade being a result of opinion.

Having said that, I disagree with the "plug and play" assessment of an engineering degree. I think that's quite a simplistic view of the major. Those who aren't creative don't do well in engineering in my experience. A good engineering school will help develop that creativity.
