Most Overrated/Underrated College Majors or Professions?

[street heat]

underrated degrees are two year technical degrees like electronics and radiologic technology

Engineering/IT is not underrated at this point.

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 a lot of people who took the major for the wrong reasons ain’t built for)

That Psy. D tho

Same can (and REALLY needs) to be said about Chemistry and Biology.

If you can’t get in, aren’t going, or aren’t built for grad school your options become limited as hell and you’ll probably be making about the same amount if not less than the English major

Oh yeah advertising is a little underrated too. Literally every single Ad major I know got jobs making between 40-88k after they graduated

After getting some experience, freelance copywriters can make a dope living on their own terms

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.

I might need to look into this

If you have a propensity for writing man, do it. It's sad that the stigma around English related degrees has stopped people who have a knack for writing from looking into stuff like Professional Writing where they can make a good living do what they like.

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

You haven't come across a lot of college grads, a lot men are in psychology

[Mim-Wage Baller]

Overrated: Any liberal arts degree.

Underrated: Any field involving a lot of math or mechanical aptitude .

I got a degree in forensic psychology because they're always gonna be jobs in that field (Especially in the court system and law enforcement not involving being a cop) also if I were go back to grad school I can branch out into a new field (going back for forensic science to be a crime analyst) . Though I wish I had minor in computer science (i'm self-teaching myself though) . Also, It's not the degree that sucks sometimes (unless it's Art ). It's the person that's utilizing it too. A lot of these liberal art majors don't use their broadness to their advantage .

There are a TON of jobs in the art world, it’s just that people don’t major in it to get those jobs. But the only people with said jobs are Art/Art history majors

really now ? I see your point. Could be a network issue too though. Connections are do or die in arts and media.
