AKA: Jobs I'm never going to be good at

[stephanieevans]

Great. Not a single artsy major. I knew it. I'm going to be broke af my whole life.

I love how the video up next for me is a ted talk titled "Why your major will never matter" 😂😂

[avrilthlove]

I majored in Philosophy at a top school and it’s served me very well. It would have been nice had the WatchMojo people put a little more effort into researching facts beyond starting salaries. Many humanities majors actually have great income payoff over the course of a career and won’t leave you with $250k of debt, like law or medical school will.

Just started my first year as a CS student and is going well till now!

I’m a music theatre major. If this was a top 50, mine still probably wouldn’t make it on the list.

Right now I'm studying Economy but I want to change and study Translation, learning languages and translating are things I love doing, actually I do it for fun. After a semester of Economy I just came to the conclusion that it is not what I want to do for a living. I've seen my dad after work, he comes home tired and stressed, even though he has a well paid job it doesn't seem to make him happy, and I don't want the same for me in the future. Still, I'm afraid that I'm making one of the worst decisions in my life by changing my career :/

Im undeclared and non if these majors interested me. I'm doomed....

[hasaki_oce]

[isabel]

I’m loosing all hope in myself. I’m gonna end up going to a community college and get into a bad career. My only hope is to marry a rich person

[SeddieWeddie]

International Relations and Foreign Affairs for me

[truthseek]

There's not enough jobs, we are dealing with overpopulation and the loss of jobs on top of that.

I feel like getting any type of STEM degree is guaranteed employed during your whole life. . . just an opinion

[kelseyrue]

[vksvar]

[vacdir]

[zachnayder]

Construction management starting salary is upwards of $80k, plus extremely frequent raises.... don’t know why this isn’t on the list

They removed my earlier comment criticizing this video. This is misleading.

Stats show that only about 1/3 of STEM majors will end up working in STEM jobs. These are great jobs, but the middle and bottom STEM students don't earn as much over the course of their careers as the top and middle liberal arts majors do. NY Times and Bureau of Labor Statistics show this.

Better to go into what you love. If you're a STEM major and you love it, then also get yourself some writing, communication, and social science/psych skills. If you love literature, the arts, or the social sciences, then learn how to code, graphic design, program, edit, or do stats so that you've got something tangible to offer people right out the graduation door. Then you can jump ahead of others mid-career since you've got these "soft skills."
