Liberal arts degrees tend to have a bad reputation when it comes to being worth it when you have to go on average nearly $40k in student loan debt in order to get a college degree. Many that graduate with liberal arts degrees end up not working in their field of study, sometimes jobless, sometimes working multiple part time jobs near minimum wage, or going back to grad school to pursue expensive graduate level degrees. Here's a video talking about some of the worst liberal art degrees that you can get (humanities and liberal arts for the purposes of this video are combined)

Colleges are businesses too. If they were completely transparent they'd be losing money. _Once you graduate with a useless degree it's your problem not theirs._ Do your research.

I don't mean to put anyone down but I hate to see when the cost of the degree doesn't justify the potential salary

Great video. For the record, I have a BA and MA in history, but my endgame was to always be a history teacher/professor. I was fortunate to know what I wanted to do, so this was a win for me and anyone else that shared my path. I also have a ton of IT certifications that kept me employed with some high-end companies doing cybersecurity while I was in school following my passion. I recently completed an Ed.D. and now make six figures between teaching high school and college. It's all about knowing what you want to do, knowing what you are getting into, as well as following through.

Archaeology and Bio Anthropology were such cool classes and my professors were both super cool people who are very smart. However, my Archaeology prof had a PhD, decades of fieldwork experience, and a lot of research under his name. He STILL said that there is no money in archaeology.

I earned a worthless degree. I had a difficult time getting a job. I was unemployed and depressed for a while. Now im enrolled in nursing school and will graduate in 6 months. I'll be working in a clinic just a few blocks from my house. It feels good.

I’m changing my degree from computer engineering to recreation therapy because my aunt knows a guy who knows a friend who’s son knows a guy who’s uncle knows a guy that got that degree and makes good money

[matomi]

I am feeling oddly pleased about the fact that a philosophy degree was not on the list, I managed to find a pretty decent middle management job after college but I am not really sure exactly how much my degree actually had to do with it. Either way, great video as per usual, keep it up!

u deserve waayyy more subscribers!!!! Ur personality and humor is on point

I love these videos. I am a parent with teenage daughters and belong to a number of Facebook channels about college planning, paying for college, parents of high school & college kids, etc. I have the same opinions as you; one needs to go to college with a PLAN and whatever one studies needs to have ROI. My mom (who didn't go to college) had the same opinion and guided my me in the same way, thank God. You would be surprised at HOW MANY people get OUTRAGED at the premise of some degrees being of lesser value.

[ibrahimabdullah]

Medicine, dentistry, maths, physics and engineering are the best degrees imo

Ps: I am doing physics and trust me, it’s a great degree.

[luciliacatumbela]

I’m seeing how colleges make the degrees more interesting by putting this fancy names on them like my soon to be college changed the chemistry masters program to “bio molecule and cells technology “ something like that you should talk more about that too!

[adelehastings]

I am a former history major who transferred in to nursing. I’ll graduate a semester late, but that is a small price to pay for having actual job prospects after my bachelors. I sincerely appreciate your efforts in making these videos— not to mention the bravery required to call out these liberal arts majors for what they are. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to become a registered nurse, and I honestly sleep better every night knowing that my future career will be strong and that I will get to help people every day in my line of work. Thank you.

My high school forced me to do a month of “outdoor education” in 2017, and basically we would just walk around with a heavy pack in the forrest and learn how to read a compass and a map. The “outdoor education” teacher told us that it’s important because we did some “math” by reading a map, and some “english” by writing a page about what we did at the end. Yeah 2 hours of actual work in 4 weeks. And guess what? The school is getting rid of this useless subject next year

[brodycates]

Sure history is a bad degree overall, but historians are mad underappreciated imo

[andrewwalters]

You should make a video about the difference between pay/salary after graduating from top colleges versus regular state schools.

Why do I get a feeling that the most useless business degrees are next

[johnnycanamaso]

I’m a current college student pursuing a music degree and ever since COVID took over everything, I learned more about money on YouTube and by reading books (currently reading Richest Man in Babylon). I’m slowly realizing that a life in music isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Even though my mom is paying for my education, I feel like I will put it to waste if I do wound up graduating. I have a vague idea on what I want to do for the rest of my life, though I’m learning more about money like mentioned, and even started an investing account. Am I going to make mistakes, yes, though I’m learning as much as I can. Wish me luck!

Me: *sweats throughout the whole video to see if psychology is on the list*
Me: *is relieved as a psychology graduate to see it is not on the list*
