It’s no secret that our age group isn’t doing too well financially. We’re buried in student loans, so we can’t move out, buy homes, or do most of the things our parents were up to at our age. But is it actually our fault?
Payscale recently conducted a survey of nearly a million users who were underemployed thanks to their choice of undergraduate majors. They surveyed users between 2014-2016, so no, you can’t blame the recession either. You only have yourself to blame for majoring in something fun instead of something useful. If you picked one of these 17 majors, congratulations – there’s at least a 50/50 shot you’re underemployed.
17. Exercise Science – 50.0% underemployment rate
16. Art History – 50.7%
15. Theater – 50.8%
14. Paralegal Studies – 50.9%
13. Health Sciences – 50.9%
12. Animal Science – 51.1%
11. Creative Writing – 51.1%
10. Human Development and Family Studies – 51.5%
9. Education – 51.8%
8. Health Care Administration – 51.8%
7. Studio Art – 52.0%
6. Radio/Television and Film Production – 52.6%
5. Project Management – 52.8%
4. Criminal Justice – 53.0%
3. Illustration – 54.7%
2. Human Services – 55.6%
1. Physical Education Teaching 56.4%
Alright, kids, it’s time to have a talk. If you think college is a time to “find yourself,” I’m sorry, but you’re a moron. Sure, you can draw well, but the point of college is to get you ready for a job in the real world. Corporate America isn’t hiring ballerinas; they’re hiring middle managers, insurance agents, and engineers. While I’d like to stick it to the system on this one, I ultimately think we have no one else to blame for our current predicament. .

How in the ever-living (insert expletive here) did Duda get cut, but you and your god awful lists were not shown the door? This is pure garbage.
Probably have to maintain female staff for “compliance” reasons.
Recruitment Chair is a remote writer, not a full timer. If you can call it writing, that is.

She’s a remote writer. Chill.
she needs to go somewhere even more remote. perhaps somewhere that doesn’t have internet access.
Bawgawd you didn’t have to take the gloves off!
Maybe she has “intangibles”.

Seriously though, all of these spam comments are the exact same, so why can’t they get just one grammatically correct version and paste that?
What do you have to major in to be a “blogger” who just reposts other people’s shitty research?
Blogology.
The sad thing is, I can see that being actual major in the next 10 years

Or two 19th holes. Think about it..
You should do a list of your ten worst list, then never write again.
Your articles are essentially all MadLibs at this point.
“If You (Verb) In Any Of These (Number) (Plural Noun), Then You’re (Adjective).”
If we find the LCMs, multiply fractions by 1, and combine like terms, it simplifies to “If You (Insert Title from original Forbes listicle), Then You’re (Adjective).”
I genuinely appreciate the work put in on this simplification. PGP
We all need to cease commenting on these articles and stop up voting comments. Doing so will stop driving traffic to these piece of shit lists and hopefully she can get laid off like the rest of Grandex staff.
Upvote for agreement, downvote for solidarity.
I don’t remember subscribing to Buzzfeed
Should’ve thrown political science on here just for Duda.
As my 155th sonnet clearly states: doth protest too much if you paid thousands of dollars to learn how to write creatively
This account could go either way. Don’t fuck it up
The fuck is “human services?” Sounds like the vague name of one of those back alley massage places that’ll give you a hay jay.
Let me be happy with my career. The hay jay market is about to blow up, especially if you already have repeat business cumming back.
My friend made $5,896 just last week and paid cash for a brand new yellow Mustang. Find out how by clicking this link https://twitter.com/DrShibby
Love what you did there, Shibby
You’re a gem Shibby
Shibs, you’re a beacon of hope in these dark times.
That you, Kendra?
