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.

2. Film and Photographic Arts
The unemployment rate for graduates with this degree sits at 12.9%. The average salary is just $30,000. It seems like the most fun majors are the worst-paying, doesn’t it? As a photography and film enthusiast myself, I do think that perhaps the unemployment rate is so high due to freelancers and independent contractors, but the abundance of photographers might also play into that number.
