How about the “studies” majors. Women/black/gay studies, probably the most useless major in any college.
African studies. ROTFL! Not everybody in Africa was really a King or Queen. That’s only in those wacky Disney Movies for Dummies.
I’d like to see a full list and know how they dealt with what didn’t appear. There are a boatload of potential majors that aren’t listed, and I find it hard to believe that they all fell between 52% would not do them again and 58% would.
Some are obscure enough that if you are only sampling 1500 people, sample size is going to pose a problem. If there are usually 3-5 history majors in a group of 1500, the statistical noise is going to be unbearable. (I majored in Economics, which isn’t listed, though it might be lumped in either with Finance or Market management/Research, which about offset eachother-—if I had to do it all over again, I might do that, or decide to screw up my life in a different way. Actually, it has been useful in many ways).
And the ever-present Bitter Women’s Studies.
I’m a black gay woman and I resent that remark
They love that. There is plenty of grifter jobs available.
We used to joke about scholarship athletes taking basket weaving but at least they learned something sorta useful.
The “studies” majors are for minority women who plan on a career in HR.
sadly, there’s a huge demand for those majors in diversity and HR offices on campuses and corporations across the country.
What do you call a woman with a PhD in Women’s Studies?
“Waitress”
You're kidding, right?
Guaranteed diversity job at any Federal, State, or local agency, or at any University or cow college, $100K plus/year and pension + healthcare, no work required, no negative evaluations ever - and you think that major is useless?
