Most Worthless Majors

Seniors in high school have a lot more to worry about than one would think. Not only are they deciding upon a college but they are deciding what they want to do for the rest of their life. Looking back to my four year journey at BGSU, I can say I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Obviously my decision to pursue a Broadcast journalism career wasn’t an educated decision. How is a senior in highschool supposed to know what they want to do for the rest of their life?
The University allows students to come into college as “undecided.” This is good because it allows students to “find themselves” and see what they are passionate about. This also allows students to waste a ton of money on random classes that will most likely not count toward graduation.
They also allow students to change majors. Once a student chooses a major they have a list of specific classes they must complete in order to graduate. If a student switch majors they might have to start that whole process again, thus wasting money on classes they didn’t need!
I found a website that was very funny yet can help those seniors who are about to take a plunge into college. HolyTaco.com lists the top ten most worthless majors:
10.) Art History
9.)Philosophy
8.)American Studies
7.) Music Therepy
6.)Communications
5.)Dance
4.)English Lit
3.) Latin
2.) Film
And finally (da da daa) the most worthless major award given to…
1.) Religion
