Some are obvious, I think, but others not so much. Anything with "studies" in the name is on the useless list, as far as I'm concerned, partly because I think the actual content can be so fuzzy. I guess it depends on the school.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16355093065582134401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206871834894179765.post-84861595675637249242011-06-10T07:52:04.258-04:002011-06-10T07:52:04.258-04:00My DH and I were discussing useless majors last ni...My DH and I were discussing useless majors last night at dinner. He said that his parents told him, when he went off to college, that he needed to choose an employable major. Liberal arts majors, they said,were for "other people", that he would always have to work for his living. Interestingly, they let their daughter major in French studies without batting an eye. At that time, I guess people didn't think women had to work. The daughter went on to a longterm, lucrative career in finance, with just a French studies BA.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364766877630085946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206871834894179765.post-25705056737211408392011-06-10T07:49:05.913-04:002011-06-10T07:49:05.913-04:00My understanding is that you can't get a job i...My understanding is that you can't get a job in nursing anymore with just an associate'sBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08364766877630085946noreply@blogger.com
