Inquiring minds want to know!

I really do not think anything you learn in college is useless....it is all what you can do with it.

I think as far as getting a job with it, Latin is probably useless unless you're studying to be a doctor.

But i agree with Beth that there's no such thing as wasted education.

I agree that there is no such thing as wasted education. Of the majors listed, though, I think gender studies is probably the least practical.

Even though I think it would be interesting, I went with gender studies.

Latin- doctors don't seem to remember much of it, anyway.

Gender studies

[Echosoftom 3]

Latin...What the hell can you do with that?

[Refugee 7]

Criminal Justice

Since it seems that all the NFL, NBA and other major sports figures get this degree while they are in college, heard it's the easiest.

Most break the law they just learned, so I find that degree totally useless.

I voted Gender Studies - just because I took a class in college called "women's worlds" and I couldn't stand it! I ended up failing because I stopped going. I didn't think we were learning anything - we were given reading assignments, but never talked about them in class, it was just an hour of bitchin' about this-n-that. I hated it!

I think gender studies is the least practical of these majors.

Gender studies is not something I would want to have sit and listen to for a whole semester, lol!!! Took philosophy....had a great time! We sat around talking about "If God is omnipotent, then can he create a rock so heavy he can't lift it?" Sort of made my head hurt. The best part was studying political philosophy..reading about communism, socialism etc...very interesting and useful.

It's not wasted if you have a interest in it.

Actually, philosophy isn't as useless as it seems. Sometimes philosophy majors are hired by R&D companies because they can think outside the box.

Latin would be good if you wanted to learn the romance languages.

I'm not sure about criminal justice. My brother was cop and his degrees were in administration of justice. His education helped him get his jobs.

I don't know about gender studies. Sounds like an easy A..lol I suppose majors can find jobs in counseling.
