I'm actually impressed that a recent English grad can pull in $32k.

I really don't see how Philosophy isn't number 1. I mean seriously.

Same, also I'm surprised Archaeology is on this list... I feel like it plays/ed a major role in learning more about Earth's History. But now that I think about it... it doesn't really mean much...

#1 Boo Yah suck on that

List should be renamed "Majors Where If You Hit It Big You Will Be A Rich Motherfucker, If You Don't You Will Live In A Box".

I'm surprised at commercial art being #4. Seems like a p. good business to be in to me.

How is it determined by science?

**arus2001** · 2012-04-23 18:29

Somehow I had a hunch the majority would be taking cheap shots at the arts.

How is it determined by science?

You didn't know? If its not medical/engineering/business, its worthless.

Except Philosophy would not be applicable. The only job available for people with Philosophy degrees is Philosophy teacher.

This.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 11. 7 and 8 can blur the line depending on how you involve the application of writing on the creative level.

Hell, anthropology/archeology and religious rabble can involve the interpretation of art to some degree, too.

Hospitality Management got me my job. Deal with it bitches.

oh i thought you meant in posts here, not the list. word.

**ronin sparthos** · 2012-04-23 18:41

Can anyone explain how Architecture is a "useless degree"? Is it just because demand has tanked because of the financial crisis?

**Day** · 2012-04-23 18:43

I think the "study" is done on people in careers other than their major? clearly some major over simplification going on

**Talint** · 2012-04-23 18:44

What the top 1% of economic earners majored in.

Compare and contrast for shits and giggles.

**Mazmaz** · 2012-04-23 18:44
