Worthless College Majors. Get a degree in one of these will lead to being poor and in a lot of debt:

Theology & Religious Vocations, Liberal Arts & Humanities, Performing Arts, Drama & Theater Arts, Fine & Studio Arts, Visual & Performing Arts (general), Film/Video & Photographic Arts, Dance, Music Performance, Music Theory & Composition, Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Art Education, Art History, Anthropology, Ethnic/Cultural/Gender/Area Studies, Philosophy & Religious Studies (combined), Linguistics & Comparative Literature, Classical Languages, Leisure & Recreational Studies, Parks/Recreation/Fitness Studies, Family & Consumer Sciences/Human Sciences, Human Development & Family Studies, Social Work, Human Services, Counseling Psychology, Clinical/Counseling Psychology (BA level), Sociology, Women’s/Gender Studies, Peace & Conflict Studies, Multicultural & Diversity Studies, Nutrition & Dietetics (BA level), Culinary Arts (bachelor’s), Hospitality & Tourism Management, Communications (general), Journalism (when not from top-20 programs), Public Relations/Image Management, Advertising (BA level), Creative Writing, English Literature, Composition & Rhetoric, History, Archaeology, Library Science (BA level), Multidisciplinary/Interdisciplinary Studies, General Studies.

These 50+ majors make up the true “bottom tier” for direct financial return. Many graduates end up in jobs that don’t require a degree at all (retail, admin, food service, gig work) and carry significant debt, which is why their net lifetime wealth gain is often near zero or negative compared to peers who skipped college.

hot take: maybe *learning how to learn*, critical thinking & network effects beat chasing the highest roi spreadsheet list 😉

alum of that “worthless” philosophy department, now comfy stacking sats & shipping rust,degree just one signal among many.

if you’re just after paper chase, yeah, skip those degrees. but liberty means letting people study their passion & bet on themselves,even if debt sucks.

(btw cozy dms over nip-17 on Vector if anyone wants to whine about loans *Privacy by Principle*)
