Nope, plan B for artists is graphic design. Interesting - The various Psychologys are Master's lvl subfields (or PhDs?) . Pharmacists need a Master's. It would be nice if they said which were BA/S's and which were MA/S's
@mckittensification I wondered the same thing. BA/S degrees in psychology aren't meant to get you a job (neither are most MA/S). They're meant to prepare you for grad school. Most states require a PhD or equivalent just to practice therapy, not to mention those going into research/neuroscience. Anyone with a BA/S in I/O psych, educational psych, or even general psych is SOL in the job market until they complete multiple advanced degrees if they want to stay in the field. These stats are fuzzy.
I'm a bit surprised at your opinion on this. because I think that those majors are highly valuable. I'll use the linguistics one as an example, chomsky is a linguist and the area of study he moved towards was global polical political analysis. What's important is that linguistic gave him a frame of reference to build on. So when you get a degree, you learn to learn and adapt. I'm in film studies, but I don't expect to come out of my four (actually five) years as a film critic.
Wow. If you look at the Swedish rates of unemployment rates you find that there is 30-60 percent unemployment rate in most field of social science and humanities. In Sweden education is not a valuable skill finding a job. The good way of getting a job i to study something that is actually needed like law, education, nursing, medicine and maybe also engineering. The rest is just a waste of time.
I was a sports journalist with an upstart sports site for a short period of time after I graduated with a biology degree. I gave it up after about a year to go to medical school because journalism just didn't pay well and I was dependent on a media company that might or might not go down. Fox Sports bought it out shortly after I left and a lot of reporters were kicked to the curb...
informative but I just wasted $20,000 on industrial technology, if your looking for a job, industrial tech is quick and easy but it's super boring. Don't base your decision on what the market looks like or you end up with great job security but a slave to your society....I would suggest taking something you actually like to do
Do these unemployment rates reflect only the people who got a job relating to the field they studied? Or do they count as 'employed' if they got their degree and then worked at McDonalds for instance?
People, Like me, go into Fine Arts majors because we love creating art. I agree it can be seen as silly to spend college money on a Fine Arts major (Photography, Illustration, Graphic Design, etc.) However, it just fulfills to learn about art. I have also learnt that most of my fellow artist friends always have a backup plan, such as learning from every art field. It's fun! haha (I don't get how people will go to college to major in religion, that will not get you a job haha)
@Justinian43 I also went for the fine arts degree. I've always liked the idea of working in the art field, but never really thought of it as my "how to get paid" plan. I'm not working in the arts, I'm working in the shipping industry (I graduated just two years ago into a slowly recovering economy). I like my job and honestly, I think I partially managed to get the job because my managers and coworkers liked looking at my sketchbooks.
@Scardy That sounds interesting, I'm thinking about doing storyboards for films since my friend will graduate with a movie making degree. I don't know I couldn't see myself doing anything but art in college lol
@theyoungturks Ana a councelor makes more than I did when I had a job and even more now that I am unemployed. Ill take that job if its open please. XD
The field of pharmacy will be going down the shitter quite soon with new schools popping up accepting anyone and everyone. These schools are pumping out graduates faster than rice water induced diarrhea, and you can already see that the field is clearly saturated. I do not recommend anyone go into pharmacy or atleast consider other options such as medicine or dentistry.
What cuts to higher education? The education system is just as corrupt as the military industrial complex with new openings of new professional schools each and every day. Take the lawyer bubble for example, or the impending pharmacy bubble.
@hash1212121212 she means cuts to High Schools or government assisted Universities and colleges such as the SUNY schools. Professors always talk about the cutting of funding going towards art and music related majors (same thing went with high school, but with high schools it's worst since they only get money from the gov't, not the students, public schools)
I love astronomy, no doubt, but it should be noted that astrophysics & astronomy belong to quite a small niche in the job market. Also, personally, I'd rather do something I love with a higher chance of unemployment as opposed to studying a field that fills my pockets, but not my passions. That's just me.
Ana, I don't know where you get that Architecture students wanted to be artists. I graduated with a professional degree in Architecture from Virginia Tech and I can assure you, I didn't know a single person that wanted to be an artist. Architecture students are people that have BOTH artistic abilities and technical talents. It is much more difficult to get into a top tier Architecture program than it is to get into a top tier Art program. The housing crash screwed Arch majors.
@ThatIMayServe She doesn;t say every architecture major was an artist or wanted to be an artist, just some. For example i am an artist (Illustration Major) however i LOVE LOVE architecture, i make models of cities for fun and sketch out blue prints for my mini cities. Confession, i couldn't get into Arch because of money issues, the lowest tuition any architecture school expects is above 20k So i went to a community college to be an art major, true story man.
Such horseshit advice Ana. One of the worst mistakes you can make is choosing a degree based on profitability. People that work for more money in a profession they have no interest in a depressed as FUCK! The happiest people i know (and often the wealthiest) are those who pursued their passion regardless of availability of jobs or income. You are literally encouraging people to ruin the rest of their life by selling out to the system and becoming a cookie cutter graduate
The Internet is mentioned as "enlightenment". The Internet is not knowledge. Its information-fragments. If you dont have the basic facts and tools incorporated through school and the ability to analyze what you read, and then apply it in practical production of services and products, the information is almost useless. Its like all these libturds spending 4 years at college. When they come out they know what everything is named, but they cant apply the "knowledge" to anything...
Know what's sad? College is so damn expensive and our economy is so geared towards serving the rich that you can't just go get a liberal arts degree or a philosophy degree and make a living as a teacher or poet. The psychology guys have to go to grad school to actually get a job, same which architecture, actually all the degrees on this list really require a masters/PhD to get a job
This is an idiotic segment and characteristic of most everything I've seen from TYT. Unless you are studying engineering or a specific trade, anything in the liberal arts (econ, psych, poli sci, english, history, etc) are equally employable.
Doesn't really matter what you study. It's internships, gpa and acheivement within your major.
Don't pay attention to this list and avoid this sad excuse for journalish
@oeJamesoe You mean equally unemployable. (But that's not true either with the stats given here--of course maybe psychology majors are just lazy.~) The corporate world realized it needed less drones--people need to learn something like programming or some form of engineering that pays their bills until the robots are plentiful enough that no one needs to work to live.
@peleproductions, a undergradute Physics won't get you a Physic related job, you might get a STEM job with a undergradute Physic degree but undergradute Physics at most universities are just the basics so you can understand gradute physics which almost all Physic related jobs in the field is dominated by Masters and Ph.d's. I'd switch to Math because it more employable than Physics in STEM fields if you're really worried and want a reliable back up major.
you have many youth that are highly educated, and are unable to make a living. Yea, I indeed see these guys who learned to think critically and question things not doing anything about their systemically being driven into poverty.
most psychology majors I know make plans to attend medical school. One of which is a friend from highschool who is in medical school. I know a few architects, and the only way to ensure employment in that field is through self-employment.
@D3adtrap No, but I think it is the only required history course for everyone across the board, at least for public universities. I'm assuming that ranking is for any kind of historian.
If youre gonna be an architect because you didnt become an artists, the youre doing it WRONG!! I wanted to become comicbook artist. so I studied Graphic design and DTP for only four years then I started a doijinshi-cirlce(which is a japanese term for beginning artists publishing work) and now Im amongst the most succesfull Japanese-comicbook artists in the Netherlands. If you want to make money with art, dont ever expect that youlle get there with studying.
look, this list is weird. half of these majors are really weird. this also isn't new. i read this months ago, and it wasn't from WSJ. what schools even have these oddball majors? maybe it's only oddball schools that have high unemployment anyway (bc they and their students suck). you can't just read off a list to us, ana. "It's called the internet." yeah. you got this on the internet, so did i, months ago. do a little more research and tell me something interesting for a change.
@Tocxica Don't panic. Most of these careers require graduate training to work in their respective fields. If you can successfully complete graduate school, these findings are pretty irrelevant.
pretty much. the only thing to me that has seem to change is that the bottom 40% of high school graduating classes will not be going to university anymore if they are not seriously considering graduate school in which only the top 30% of a graduating undergraduate class even gets considered for graduate school. Anyway I'm glad I recently got admitted into a graduate program. It should work out, can't fuck it up
What are your data based on? I'm a graduate student in clinical psychology, and that number sounds grossly exaggerated. My guess is that you're referring to people with a Bachelor's degree in clinical psychology; because you need at least a M.A. to be licensed as a clinical psychologist, stopping at a B.A. is a terrible career decision.
Also, you should at least Wikipedia or Google I/O psychology before you bash it. Didn't you just point out how important the Internet is for "enlightenment?"
America MAY have a lot of the world's best colleges, but good luck finding a well-paying job OUTSIDE of it. Unless you learn in a very narrow range of majors. Hell, why even OFFER these majors if the job prospects are shit?? They should ask students upfront, "Are you here to just enlighten yourself or are serious about getting a good job" and then go from there.
They make you take out 10s of thousands in loans just to stay in but don't even do all that they COULD to guarantee that you'll get a good job! What a fucking sick joke this is... On TOP of the shitty econ, too.
If anyone who's a poli-sci major's got any tips for me, I'd love to hear em. I've used up almost every resource I can find to try to get a job in this field and still no luck. I'm just lucky I was able to at least find A JOB, although the one I currently have is shitty, and it's min. wage bullshit. :/
Fuck this country with its "you're on your own" mentality. Even the Missouri CareerSource website's list of jobs are more specialized bullshit like accounting or mechanic certification shit.
@whoo689 Is your current job at least somewhat related to poli-sci? Try to make the best out of it (I know...it's hard), and do things that could boost your skills. In the mean time, don't stop trying and stay positive. I don't know what kind of jobs poli-sci majors would get, but branch out. Even if that's writing a column in a local college newspaper about political science for free. Hell there's tons of stuff to talk about now.
I should've stayed with Business after I switched to that from Poli-Sci right after I transferred to Mizzou... At least THEN I'd have more resources at my disposal.
Poli-Sci at Mizzou is nothing more than a mere DEPARTMENT! Hell, even Nursing gets its own "college." WTF. How is NURSING that much more important than politics? Or the CAFNR crap (College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources or whatever), which just seems like an excuse for hicks to attend and feel smart.
I was semi-involved in my first 2 years of college but then got less involved and became gradually lazier the next 2 years. I figured I'd take my chances, and "it can't too be hard finding a job after graduation." It seems more and more evident that even a field like politics and political science is INCREDIBLY elitist when it comes to considering people for jobs. It seems like if you didn't do things like internship (or couldn't), stay very active in many political clubs, etc., you're f'ed
At least SOME kind of boost. I mean, big universities like Mizzou have connections, right? Connections, money, etc. Why not put those to good use? Instead of making US STUDENTS do all the motherfucking work. You're not paying to go to one of those colleges FOR NOTHING.
And I'm not asking for a handout. Of course, I'm all for being involved in college outside of classes, and I do regret not being as involved as I probably should've. But for the love of GOD...
But I guess unless you're SUPER-INVOLVED during college with that kind of shit, you're SOL outside of college for fields like Poli-Sci that don't really give much actual "job training" during college. It's fucking ridiculous... Colleges should, to some extent, be REQUIRED to do all they can to make sure you get a job immediately after graduation, not just with these piss-poor "career centers." They should openly DEMAND or work their asses off to help grads get a starting career in that field.
I graduated with a poli-sci BA. Worst decision I've ever made. I have YET to find a motherfucking job in this field, despite having applied for probably close to 20 or 30 diff. jobs! Including many WITHIN gov't itself. I applied for a position with my local PIRG not too long ago... but not even so much as a callback.
I mean, I wasn't the MOST ACTIVE student outside of classes (got a 3.61 GPA overall), but I did SOME stuff, like being the Treasurer of my SSDP chapter in 08-09.
Clinical psychology has the HIGHEST unemployment rate??
But Americans are drugged up to the hilt! We're depressed and stressed as fuck. Our kids are overmedicated. Are you JOKING?? O.o How's that even possible?
Psychologists cannot prescribe drugs. Psychiatrists (who are trained doctors with MDs) or Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners can prescribe drugs. There's been talk about letting psychologists get prescription licence but not sure where that's going. It'll take more courses and it's not really in their realm of responsibility.
@elmirasahar My dads a Lawyer. Whenever I ask him about his profession he tells me the same thing, "don't become a lawyer for the money, become a Lawyer because you like law". It's one of the most stressful jobs in the world.
hmm if U.S history has a high unemployment rate I wonder what just plain history or world history is ? actually i haven't really look in the kind of jobs you can get with a history major does anybody know ? other then professor
Many freelance designers don't report their income. What's the point, with the government in your business all of the time putting their hands into your pockets. But the thing is everyone with a computer and an illegal copy of photoshop thinks they are graphic designers.
@jwdesign336 I am a self-taught graphic designer who never went to school one day for it...I was self-employed and worked for companies over my 7 years in that field. And that's why I think for most people, graphic design school is a waste of money. Thousands of dollars to learn what I learned on my own. So even if I'm not the BEST graphic designer, I still made more money overall because I don't have student loan debt.
@Baalthazaq Shhh. I knew those numbers before I posted but didn't expect anyone to call me on my fallacious bullshit. I could argue my point more but there really isn't room to do it thoroughly through YouTube comments so I'll just say that I'm a naive idealist and you win.
Clinical Psychology has high unemployment because there aren't enough spaces for people with PsyD's. Also, there aren't internships available to accommodate the many Psy D students looking for experience in the field.
@blacklion1798 Hm. It's rare for Clinical Psychology to be an Undergrad major. Typically, psychology students earn a bachelor's degree in Psychology. Those who wish to pursue a Master's or Ph.D. then enroll in upper division programs, like Clinical Psychology. I think Ana meant it to be graduate programs. At least, that's how I see it considering she prefaced the list by saying the main major is Psychology.
If you're majoring in architecture, go to a developing country and you're sure to find a job. Infrastructure is a huge business in most foreign countries.
The difference is, in those jobs, the businesses will FIRE you in a few years, and HIRE the now-new college grads for less money. And the cycle repeats.
You shouldn't go into a career because it makes the most money or because it's the easiest to get a job in. You should go into a career because it's something you love. Obviously, this woman simply doesn't understand that. How sad...
I couldnt get in the Waterloo Architecture School with a 90 avg going in, now I just finished my 3rd of Civil Engineering and going on to my 5th co op without any trouble finding a job. THANK GOD they didnt accept me. I would of been screwed.
im 16 years old and im very intrested in being an advertiser/ marketing consultant... people tell me that it fuels commercialism... and isnt an asset to the world... im having conflicted feelings about persuing it... can someone give me some advice?
@TheImmortal360 if it's what you want to do, then do it. just do the math and calculate the costs of going to school. Make a budget and see if it works
@TheImmortal360 Marketing is neither good nor bad, it's what people use it for that is good or bad. Go for it. In the end, if you feel a certain job or message is a bad one, you don't have to do it. Plus, it's the advertisers and marketing advisers who've done the best to come forward and really explain how it works so that people won't be as easily manipulated by it. It can be an asset if treated responsibly.
Guys Anna is right, don't just pick a stupid major where its hard to get a GOOD job and then box yourself in, even if it is something you love , instead pick that stupid major and then go with a useful minor that can actually lead to a good chance of employment(just in case). Thats exactly what my 10th grade math teacher did, He was a psych major, with a minor in math and engineering. He never got to be a psychologist, be he was happy working with kids and teaching them math.
When you are unemployed, you would give a limb for 20K a year(unless you have a big nestegg to live off of or a rich family). 20K is not something to pooh-pooh when you have no income.
What's bad about a 10 % chance of NOT getting the job you apply for? Instead switch to a field you're not interested in, like switching from humanities to technical majors.
@pnoozi or suck it up and work hard like everyone else in the world, trust me, those kids in Africa, well, they would give 2 limbs to be in your position, where just some backbreaking work would lead to success.
@pnoozi or fuck you bitch, you know I feel bad for those unemployed and sympathize with the Occupy movement, because the system is unfair, sometimes people who work hard are left, but then I see ungrateful pieces of lazy shit like yourself, then I want to become a conservative anti-Occupy movement ass, because your like a fucking parasite just mooching off our hard earned shit.
@kazekage321414 so just because I'm NOT doing something I absolutely hate every second of every day of my life... I'm a parasite mooching off the system. got it.
I was a Political Science major and went to law school. I have been practicing for a year (after being unemployed for a year after graduation) and I don''t make shit.
@bbbblazin2802 what college you go to, especially for law and like computer science, makes a big deal, in terms of your wages...... those asians parents are strict for a reason :)
This is great advice. I am 31 and trying to find a full time job in higher education. I wish I had known about the economic crash as an undergrad, but oh well. Guys, you need to weigh your options and choose something in the middle ... something you're fairly interested in, but also something that you can get a job in.
Look at Unemployment Rates by major is a terrible advice. People should do what they love no matter what or they will have unbearable 4 years leading up to an unbearable career until they were "free" by retirement. If they get to retire...I usually like TYT University but this was horrible horrible advice.
@natashaleite you forget that a lot of people really do go to universities just to feel smarter and get a degree. in my country where education is free we also have shitload of unemployed psychologists. because they just want an easy degree and have nothing better on their mind. i mean yeah psychology is interesting, but come on.
@natashaleite if you do what you love and do it great, you'll end up ahead, if you suck dick and want and easy major, picking psych probably not the best choice, because you won't get a job. Thats how the world works, I know it sucks, but its better that they tell you THE TRUTH instead of just lying to you and telling you a psych major is going to end up making 100k a year and they are all employed.
Anna is acting like all those who choose to major with these degrees will have no chance of getting a job and no college students should consider them. Half of this list's majors had unemployment rates of ~10% which is right along with the national average. Having a 1/10 chance of being unemployed at a particular time during a terrible recession shouldn't dissuade you so much from pursuing what interests you. Not everyone wants to live for paychecks and work in a machine until they die.
@xCroB93x fine your right, better to follow your dream then work for paychecks are you life right. But if its your dream, then you should be getting straight As then of course you'll find a good job. but if your an average student, its stupid to take those majors, which is all she is saying. Now living for paychecks sounds HORRIBLE in college, but just getting paychecks and feeding a family starts to sound a lot better when you graduate.
@xCroB93x The difference is, in those jobs, the businesses will FIRE you in a few years, and HIRE the now-new college grads for less money. And the cycle repeats.
@xCroB93x working in astronomy, astrophysics and mathematics (some of the lowest unemployment rates, i.e. astrophysics = 0%) is not working the machine. If anything is one of the fields where you have the biggest freedom to do what you love.
People always make these lists, but in reality, someone isn't going to spend 3+ years getting a degree in something they gain no happiness from. Someone who wants to be a chef probably won't enjoy spending 3-4 years getting a degree for physics or so.
What a bitch? You think everyone doing one these majors is there because they want to feel smarter not because they want to make a living in a field they love? That's a nice window into what you think about other human beings you ignorant bitch.
@bunkmasterflex Yeah, I do, I think most people who take these majors aren't really wanting to be psychologists because they think its a great job and they are willing to spend hours on it. I think they are mostly looking for an easy fun job, and think psychology is the best way to get one.
1 in 5 is high but it wouldn't be high enough unemployment to deter me from doing something i otherwise love. many people fought through financial strife coming out of university or college and pushed through it to end up wildly successful and would have undoubtedly regretted switching majors to something which might be easier to be successful.
Ana has such a poor understanding of what these degrees are. The fact that she thinks literally the only thing you can do with a history degree is teach is laughable. And anyone who has ever taken a psychology class in their life knows what industrial/organizational psychology is.
@raccoonsarebadass ya the article specifically applies to clinical psychology (which is itself different from psychiatry)
Clinical psychology actually leaves out the Majority of Psychology (as you said industrial/organizational), plus research (I do research in math and language in cognition). A lot of research oriented Psych people get hired up by places that do mass surveys and polling because we know how to design surveys and advanced statistics.
I drive a truck and make a shit load more money than my friends who took out loans to go get fancy degrees LMAO

Such horseshit advice Ana. One of the worst mistakes you can make is choosing a degree based on profitability. People that work for more money in a profession they have no interest in a depressed as FUCK! The happiest people i know (and often the wealthiest) are those who pursued their passion regardless of availability of jobs or income. You are literally encouraging people to ruin the rest of their life by selling out to the system and becoming a cookie cutter graduate

The Internet is mentioned as "enlightenment". The Internet is not knowledge. Its information-fragments. If you dont have the basic facts and tools incorporated through school and the ability to analyze what you read, and then apply it in practical production of services and products, the information is almost useless. Its like all these libturds spending 4 years at college. When they come out they know what everything is named, but they cant apply the "knowledge" to anything...

The psychology guys have to go to grad school to actually get a job, same which architecture, actually all the degrees on this list really require a masters/PhD to get a job

This is an idiotic segment and characteristic of most everything I've seen from TYT. Unless you are studying engineering or a specific trade, anything in the liberal arts (econ, psych, poli sci, english, history, etc) are equally employable.
Doesn't really matter what you study. It's internships, gpa and acheivement within your major.

I'd switch to Math because it more employable than Physics in STEM fields if you're really worried and want a reliable back up major.

I was semi-involved in my first 2 years of college but then got less involved and became gradually lazier the next 2 years. I figured I'd take my chances, and "it can't too be hard finding a job after graduation." It seems more and more evident that even a field like politics and political science is INCREDIBLY elitist when it comes to considering people for jobs. It seems like if you didn't do things like internship (or couldn't), stay very active in many political clubs, etc., you're f'ed

At least SOME kind of boost. I mean, big universities like Mizzou have connections, right? Connections, money, etc. Why not put those to good use? Instead of making US STUDENTS do all the motherfucking work. You're not paying to go to one of those colleges FOR NOTHING.
And I'm not asking for a handout. Of course, I'm all for being involved in college outside of classes, and I do regret not being as involved as I probably should've. But for the love of GOD...

But I guess unless you're SUPER-INVOLVED during college with that kind of shit, you're SOL outside of college for fields like Poli-Sci that don't really give much actual "job training" during college. It's fucking ridiculous... Colleges should, to some extent, be REQUIRED to do all they can to make sure you get a job immediately after graduation, not just with these piss-poor "career centers." They should openly DEMAND or work their asses off to help grads get a starting career in that field.
