<p>I’ve been hiring for large corporations for 30 years and I don’t know of a single major I’d describe as useless. I can describe tens of thousands of kids who did not take advantage of the educational opportunities they had- I can describe dozens of colleges where a kid can graduate with a respectable GPA without ever having had to stretch intellectually- I can describe thousands of kids with allegedly “useful” majors who my hiring teams rejected early on because believe it or not- you can get a degree in math or accounting or engineering and still not have marketable skills when you graduate (the ability to learn independently, the ability to analyze a set of facts and think critically about them, the ability to write a coherent email and to use standard English, LOL).</p>
