The 10 most useless college degrees

I’m not exactly sure what the Daily Beast is, but a lot of people take it seriously. It has come up with its list (and, as everyone who reads this journal knows, I’m a sucker for lists) of the 10 most useless college degrees. I wish the Beast had done a list like this 50 years ago — I probably would be a lot better off than I am today.

Here’s the list, in reverse order, of the worst college degrees based on, according to the Beast, which ones offer the fewest job opportunities as well as pay the least:

10. Nutrition
9. Chemistry
8. Mechanical Engineering Technology
7. Music
6. Child and Family Studies
5. Fashion Design
4. Advertising
3. Agriculture
2. Horticulture
and the No 1 most useless degree: Journalism.

Now the Beast can do us all a favor and give us the 10 best degrees.
