<p>"Do you ever wonder who decided potato chips should come in such a loud, crinkly package?</p>

<p>And why a bag of chips? Why not a box? Or a can? Someone had to decide. Luckily, you can take comfort in knowing that the “bag of chips” decision was made by an expert. Packaging, the art of developing appropriate containers for consumer goods, is actually a major at several colleges in the U.S.</p>

<p>Packaging isn’t even the strangest college degree. We rounded up some of the most unusual and interesting degrees offered at colleges and universities around the country, and then went a step further to find out what people do with these degrees when they graduate."</p>

<p>My school offers 2 of those majors lol. I actually know a few people in the Packaging major. I don’t know of a single person who graduated with that major that didn’t have a job waiting for them. It’s a very limited sample though. One guy I knew last year graduated with a packaging degree got a job with Wal-Mart making a ridiculous amount for a fresh-out-of-college adult in this kind of economy. A lot of them double major in business and/or get a degree is Sustainable Development (or something along those lines… can’t remember the exact name).</p>
