7. Music
Everyone loves music, and while our favorite musicians can make millions of dollars per year, those who study it will only make about $30,000 a year. College graduates with a degree in music have an unemployment rate of 9.2%. Those who stick to their field for several years can expect to only have an average salary of $45,000.
