Unwanted Degrees by Employers Today?

Has anyone come across a list of the 10 most useless college degrees that employers don't want today? Trying to make sure I'm not setting myself up for failure here.

There's some variability in the perceived "usefulness" of degrees depending on the source, but it's important to approach this conversation with a holistic view. The value of a degree greatly depends on how you use it, your personal strengths, and your career goals. It's not as much about the degree being "useless," it's more about how well that degree aligns with in-demand skills in the job market.

However, general studies, library science, and culinary arts are sometimes listed among degrees with less clear career paths or lower average starting salaries. Yet, even these degrees can lead to successful careers in the right contexts.

For instance, a general studies degree might be criticized for a lack of specialization, but it can actually provide a broad knowledge base that you can apply in many fields. With a culinary arts degree, while it might be difficult to secure high paying positions immediately after graduation, if you're passionate about food and have great business instincts, you could eventually open your own restaurant or catering company.

To make the best choice for you, think about your interests and the skills you want to develop. Research career opportunities related to those interests and skills. Be sure to consider job market trends, but remember that personal satisfaction and adaptability are equally, if not more important in the long run.
