Most Overrated/Underrated College Majors or Professions?

[KingBeez]

Just as the title says, name your most overrated and underrated college majors or job professions, and why.

For me, most overrated is Psychology. That major has been over saturated with a bunch of pseudo-intellectuals who believe that they can fix people’s minds when they can’t even fix their own life. This isn’t a diss to all psychologists, but mainly to the ones who think that their opinions are gospel because of a degree.

Most underrated would be engineering and the IT field, as many of you 6 certs Coli brehs know. The field is relatively new, and possibilities are endless. There’s always a job for them, as long as you continue to accumulate certs as technology moves in different directions over time. It’s got me thinking about picking up some IT certs while I complete my degrees next year.

What are yours?

I've never came across a human male that majored in psychology. Only women.

I don't think IT/CS degrees are underrated. Most people know they are like the highest paid majors and the career opportunities are great. People just know that shyt is hard as hell

Underrated:
MIS degree

Idk if you can say Engineering is underrated there are tons of students every year in those majors just because they hear you can make a lot of money.

And nursing is definitely not underrated most nursing programs have large wait lists to get in and if your Not on top of your shyt doing your prerequisites I’m talking like 3.5+ GPA your not getting in

I've never came across a human male that majored in psychology. Only women.

there are plenty of male pysch majors. it is one of the most popular degrees. you can find people in just about every industry with one.

 

[NaijaRich99]

Professional writing is grossly underrated. Most people laugh at any degrees relating to English but jobs like technical writing are critical to helping engineering projects and they won't be going away anytime soon.

Psychology isn’t bad per se, but many fail to realize you’re GOING to have to go to Grad School to be able to do anything with it (which is something a lot of people who took the major for the wrong reasons ain’t built for)

I’m finishing up my masters then will be going for my Psy. D
