<p>There is nothing inherently useful or useless about any given major–isn’t college about pursuing what you find most interesting? And so what if it is, say, 17th-18th century French history (yay selfplugging)? As long as you enjoy it, no big deal.</p>

<p>I’m a science and math person, so most humanities majors make me cringe a little.
I don’t think any subject is “useless” though, some might not be as applicable to my career goals (engineering), but learning anything – even if it’s not my favored topic, is rarely a bad thing.</p>
<p>Edit: Leave it to me to post in an old as hell thread.</p>
<p>I do think it is kind of hilarious all that talking about how it’s going to be a long time until the economy collapses bit.</p>
<p>How is any major a waste of time? And how can people judge without knowing a person’s reasoning for having said major. Obviously universities offer certain classes and keep majors for a reason, because they appeal to people and they fit people’s needs. Having an elite job and making tons of money right out of college due to a major, isn’t exactly everyone’s goal.</p>

<p>My main major is Animation and Digital arts, and I’m mostly in it for the connections since my film school’s pretty well known :)</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but as much as I like film, I have to agree with a lot of people on here that film studies, without any true vocational classes, is pretty useless.</p>
<p>If you have ways you can apply a major in career then it is not useless. A lot of jobs just want a four year degree. If you went to a great school, received a perfectly “useful” degree, and have no experience then employers will think twice before hiring you over someone with real-world experience.</p>

<p>Seems to me undergrad anything is useless according to this thread lol. So looks like you can major in anything and you will be screwed O_O.</p>

<p>“Keep on waiting, it’s going to be a LONG time. I hear Cuba is nice and they don’t have capitalism. Of course every car there was built prior to 1959. And just try to find a nice plasma TV which would be useless as there is nothing to watch anyway.”</p>
<p>That was stated shortly before the economic recession, which I find ironic XD. Or maybe barrons jinxed it! Grrrr…</p>
<p>@Whoever said Deaf Studies: If you are talking about becoming a teacher who works with deaf students, you’re wrong. Although it’s a narrow subject, who would teach deaf people sign language and work with them if there were no deaf studies majors?</p>
<p>Or teach hearing kids who want to take three foreign languages…</p>
<p>I totally did. Damn Georgia law only allows two years of ASL to be taught, or did when I was in HS.</p>
<p>what the hell do you do with a degree in philosophy? walk around and think and give people your opinions that they don’t care about?</p>
<p>I’ve heard philosophy is very good in preparing you for law school.</p>
