We used to joke about those who took classes like “children’s games,” “rocks for jocks,” or even “underwater basket weaving” while in college. That was then, when college degrees guaranteed gainful employment. This is now, when a liberal arts degree guarantees very little.
The folks over at The Daily Beast have identified The 13 Most Useless Majors. The list derives from Anthony Carnevale et al’s recent study, Hard Times: College Majors, Unemployment, and Earnings. The list was comprised looking at factors such as recent graduate employment, experienced graduate employment, recent graduate earnings, experienced graduate earnings, and projected growth in total number of jobs from 2010 to 2020.
So what undergraduate degrees made the dubious baker’s dozen?
1. Fine arts
2. Drama and theatre arts
3. Film, video, and photographic arts
4. Commercial art and graphic design
5. Architecture
6. Philosophy and religious studies
7. English literature and language
8. Journalism
9. Anthropology and archeology
10. Hospitality management
11. Music
12. History
13. Political science and government
Clearly, the arts don’t seem to be doing well in this economy, with art-related majors holding five or six of the spots, depending on how you look at them. And it seems that the path to being the next Mike Brady, Indiana Jones, or Woodward and Bernstein don’t look too bright these days.
Our second president, John Adams, once said, “I must study politics and war, that my sons have the liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, natural history, and naval architecture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, tapestry, and porcelain.”
Based on Carnevale’s work and the current economy, I don’t think there are many now hoping their kids will be studying poetry and porcelain.

It depends on how you define “useless.” My daughter majored in theology. She is now a catholic nun. She could not be happier of more fulfilled.
Your face is useless
Very few students opt for the subject Arts as scope of getting a job by studying this subject is quite less.
It’s not what you major in in school that will make you a success, it’s what you do with your knowledge afterwards. Having a successful life isn’t just about making money. I think every cirriculum should include some courses on entrepreneurship to help students use what they have learned to start their own business. We clearly can’t depend on large companies for lifetime employment any longer.
