Every year, the job market gets more and more unrecognizable than the previous years. With technology, robotics, and other factors replacing some jobs and creating others, what might have been the most ideal college degree for job prospects five years ago might be completely obsolete now. This is the 2017 version of the worst college majors, based on how likely one is to get a job, the starting salary out of graduation, and the likelihood of job retention and security.

5. Philosophy
Philosophy is a great segue into the fields of law, business, and almost anything. However, by itself, it does not bring much benefit to its graduates. Philosophy students might be wiser than the rest of us, but at an unemployment rate of 10.8%, they are also less likely to have a job than the rest of us. The average starting salary in this field for those that do get a job sits at $30,000.
