A lot of engineering on that list. It's a shame so much money goes to nerds who won't do anything cool with it.


Actually I just bought a pretty nice new pair of crocs

173. Clinical Psychology


This is a little surprising. I wouldn't expect it to be toward the top, but below things like "Miscellaneous Fine Arts" is a bet I would have lost.


The reason in the fine print of the article. The ranking is based on having a bachelors degree. Can't do much with a BS in clinical psychology. Pretty much NEED an advanced degree, probably a PhD to do anything worthwhile.

My company's region laid off >80% of their field personnel. And then they moved me back to the field. Dumbasses

2. Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Sciences/Administration

What do you do with this degree and no graduate education?


Does it stipulate that this data is just for people without graduate education?

Don't feel bad, you passed the FE and we're all super proud of how smart you are. Want us to hang it up on the fridge to show off how super smart you are? Huh? Would that be fun?

As does African American studies


The vast majority of majors that include "studies" in it are typically not worth the cost.

Well bachelor's of arts are designed to pursue a graduate degree, no to go straight into employment.
