I actually think all majors in college are a pure waste. Everything should be like the trades. Decide to be a plumber go work with a plumber for 2-4 years. A chemist, the same thing. Teaching to check boxes and actually showing them what they'll need to do is massively different.
I had to check a box for my history major. African Film History. It honestly was intriguing, but a complete waste of fucking time. There's nothing I retained or will take away from it besides seeing a bunch of naked Africans. No issue with blacks, but that ain't my jam. Wasted 4 months of 2 hour a week classes that were mandatory attendance. So couldn't blow it off and get a passing grade.
I don't think most people understand that they're smarter than the person teaching. If they don't, they're doomed. Never had a professor in college that I was like "hey, that guy/gal is smart".... never. Maybe one who was a political science professor and former Chicago Alderman that rocked t...
World is full of cab drivers with Architecture degrees; they have some of the highest unemployment rates of any college major, continuously through time. Fewer companies building fewer models. It might have been a great major in the 50s, 60s, maybe 70s, but that was an unusual time period that won't be seen again.

i met a guy who got women studies degree. useless fuck.
Psych is my favorite degree. It tells me PRECISELY who it's nuts, though it might be concealed until you get to know them awhile.

In college, everybody that was going for psychology was crazy. I think that most people that go into that field feel they are crazy, and they are in psychology to "fix themselves".
That said, the soft studies are a dead end for jobs. Especially don’t be some sort of writer like a journalist or whatever.
then the grunt programmers, and office workers, and then the middle managers.
It’s going to be a white collar bloodbath in the next ten years.
Right now a psych degree plus a certification for counseling is gold. There are way more people looking for mental health services than there are counselors available. They all are booked solid and most not taking new clients.

Most tech companies are very overstaffed, especially with diversity hires who don't really do anything useful, but are there to signal the virtue of the employer.
The marketing majors I would think could get jobs. Probably not particularly good ones most of the time.
They need to teach things like how to become a real estate developer and how to start a business.

That's how Twitter is getting by just fine with 25% of it's former staff.
I suspect that most of the Twits who were laid off (or quit) were in the censorship department.
Mark is probably making more than 70K by now. Possibly much more.
Years ago, I commonly ran into people from Iran, Egypt, Bangladesh, etc. Now you will only run into "Westerners".

Acting
Film
Anthropology
Civilization Studies
Philosophy
Psychology
Communications
English
History
Interior Design
Marketing
Photography
Acting and Film has been destroyed by the Wokesters, so any Entertainment Biz career path is going to be tougher go than ever before. And before only the best of the best ever made it.
Anthropology, Civilization Studies, Philosophy, Psychology these are only good careers if you are seeking money from the Propaganda business. You are looking to exploit people behavior matrices for the man.
Communications is a broad subject but a great skill to have to aid in some of the other majors.
English History are only good if you're interested in academics or Diplomacy, and it's already a family business and you will have a foot in the door for employment.
Interior Design, unless you are popular at the Aventura Synagogue and recommended for every Condo decorated that's a useless job, you'll end up crunching numbers on the computer, at the Home Design center at the Home Depot, scheduling crummy cabinet and counter installs.
Marketing is one of those skills that if you're going to be a entrepreneur, inventor, or an entertainer, you wont have a better skill than marketing. It's not just marketing it's the full package. This is where communications, comes in handy, Photography, English, Philosophy, Psychology, and Acting will come handy. Knowing the processes to take an idea from concept to sitting on a shelf with branding and advertisement behind it. It's probably the biggest major here, that requires the most hustle, piss and vinegar, moxy and stamina. If you're getting a marketing major because it was something you decided on out of choice, than desire. Then it's a useless skill as well. And also one of the lowest paid skills, if you didn't get the full package stated above in your degree. If you have marketing skills and a great idea, the world is literally your oyster. If you don't it will be your Arby's road side flip sign.
Photography again it's one of those things, if you're going to set your camera up in a room in some building and expect interesting pictures to come to you, then it will be a waste. But if you can put yourself out there and can get exclusive pictures of the Ukraine conflict for example, that will be the best gig in town, if you make it out alive.
