What is the most useless university degree going?

Answer 1

Anything to do with art. I mean daw a picture. All the great artists didn't need degrees to draw. Also all these honorary degrees handed out. Absolutely worthless and meaningless.

Answer 2

Anything in Liberal Arts is pretty useless, I have a poli-sci degree and used it to come to law school, without law school I'd be hard pressed to find employment. Employers sure weren't running after me when I graduated undegrad. I think a general rule is the easier the degree, the less the utility.

Answer 3

Cinema, Theater, many of the liberal arts degree programs. People rarely get jobs or get disillusioned when they find out how low the pay is in theater and how unionized the movie industry is (father son thing).

You get your degree and the best you can hope for is tour guide at Universal City and then it's up to you to con your way in.

Entry level in the crafts is Prop Shop at $8 an hour.

That's what you get for your BA in Cinema if you're lucky

Or you go to work as an assistant for a Auto Dealer or RV company (they do it all in house most of the time, two people).

Or you go to work for a local TV station in the boom docks where they pay $7.50 an hour to do the work someone in the Union gets $35 an hour for in NYC or Los Angeles

You go work in the news or documentary department at some hick station for $20K a year and try and work your way up to writer-producer and then after 2 years you send your resume out to Disney to try and move over to the Disney Childrens' Channel as a writer-Producer where you might make $50k a year.

Answer 4

Probably "art". I love art, but the rest of the world unfortunately does not share my opinion.

Answer 5

a ba is starting to be worthless since most jobs requires graduate school.
