"Least Practical" Degrees In America

I just read the first couple pages of the thread. And I do believe that least practical is something you’re not really into -even if it’s a more “practical” choice-. I’m living proof of that, as I’m about to successfully major with a LLB degree and want a completely different career -which I intend to pursuit while also working, as soon as I graduate.

This aside, I can understand some majors are just plain hard to get jobs with or are unrelated to a particular career. But I have to say, I’ve heard/read about pretty “useless” or “boring” majors, that with the right twist (ex. double major, master’s, etc) can become money makers
Btw, to the previous poster, I do consider Philosophy to be underrated… usually considered useless if you don’t intend on attending law school afterwards. If you trully love and are commited to it, go for it… if not, maybe find something else to double major or use phil as a minor.
