<p>There are no useless majors, however there are people who have no clue how to make themselves marketable. As a whole, undergrad is very general in that for the most part students are taught how to learn, how to research, and how to make the most of the knowledge they do have. This isn’t like graduate school where you spend 5 or more years in intensive study within a specific area of a chosen field.</p>
<p>There are certain majors that do translate easily to the job market in that, unlike most liberal arts majors, these majors teach students how to do a certain job rather than merely increasing their knowledge in a subject. Engineering majors create engineers, accountancy majors create accountants, education majors create teachers, and so forth.</p>
<p>But if someone cannot imagine an employer who wants someone able to write well, research efficiently, and communicate thoughts effectively (things anyone graduating with a degree in the humanities should be able to do), then they obviously have not been in the working world for very long, or has never held a serious full-time job.</p>
