Are there useless majors?

<p>

</p>

<p>Some people knock film as a “useless major”, but in reality there are many job prospects stemming from a film & video production major. Very few will ever go on to direct a major motion picture, but there are plenty of other avenues for that type of degree. </p>

<p>You simply have to look at the hundreds of channels on TV that need creative people with the technical skills that major teaches you. Writing, producing, shooting, editing, marketing those TV shows - a film/video major will teach you that.</p>

<p>Also, all of those commercials that you see on TV. The guys shooting, editing, creating graphics and special effects - yes, those are film/video guys too.</p>

<p>Web content is also an avenue for film/video majors. Lots of online media uses the skill set of those majors.</p>

<p>For those that never make it on the national level, there are hundreds of local markets that need TV production, local commercial production, small market/client productions (training videos, etc).</p>

<p>There’s lots and lots of avenues for a film/video production degree. Unless you live in a bubble, you view and use their services on a daily basis.</p>
