Architecture is fine as long as you combine it with a firm grounding in business and contruction. My Brothers-in-law, for example, have made a lot of money in design build.
I see that education is highest on the list for getting a job. Interesting.
Many architects need only design a couple of buildings and they are set for life. Others move on into other related fields. Part of the problem is that when you have a recession or depression commercial building grinds mostly to a halt!

This was originally "...and Don't Major in Underwater Ethnic Transgender Women's Basket-Weaving Studies," but for some reason the editors rejected that one.
RE: Don’t Major in Underwater Ethnic Transgender Women’s Basket-Weaving Studies,”
I believe that is covered by the all-encompassing term called -— The ARTS.
Or as they usually call it — LIBERAL ARTS (I wonder.. why don’t we have CONSERVATIVE ARTS??)
Big Government hires a lot of ‘em.
Why the recent college graduates had an unemployment rate 3 times less than high school graduates is because the college graduates are taking jobs that high school graduates would have normally taken. Restaurants have masters degree waitresses, MacDonalds has BBAs and MBAs for Asst Managers, UPS has some of the most degreed sorters and loaders, telephone solicitors are graduates at a minimum .... but more would be so redundant.
I find it difficult to believe that Education majors are as highly employed as the chart shows. Seems like there was a glut of education majors over the past two decades—though that could just be my limited perception. Still, most of the ones I knew took jobs in other professions.
From the young “lady’s” sign in Occupy NYC, going into $90,000 student loan debt for a BA in Hispanic Transgender, Gay and Lesbian studies would probably not be a great choice either.

Maybe one’s GPA is also important?
Don’t forget Marine Biology. Oh and latex.
Want a job? Go to college and don’t major in medicine. It’s a regulated industry.
Probably not. Everyone gets B+ now. All the students are above average.
I know a guy who works for UPS as a sorter. Has an undergrade in International Relations or something like that, plus an MBA! He's a classic under-achiever in all other respects.
Supposedly there are a ton of boomer teachers that will be retiring in the next five to 10 years. Of course studies are always done with agenda. Even conservative studies are done to find out a favorable outcome. Too much money spent on studies. i say just get out there and work hard. If you are a plumber, work hard. If you are a chemist work hard. If you are a janitor then work hard. If you are an anesthesiologist then work hard. That is really the bottom line.
