10. English Language and Literature
While mastery of the English language is something all college graduates should have, by itself, it won’t be enough to land you a well-paying job right out of graduation. The unemployment rate for recent grads is at 9.2% with a median income of about $32,000. Even those who have several years of experience under their belt find that their salary is not significantly higher, at just $52,000 per year.
