The 10 Worst College Majors of 2019
June 11th, 2019
Another year, another upsetting list to devastate art and non-STEM majors across the country. Sure, low pay is a big factor in what makes a degree worthless, but it’s far from the only thing. With the job market as volatile as ever, the chances of finding a job is factored in just as heavily as starting salaries and mid-career salaries. What good is a degree if you can’t even get a job, right?

8. Music
Music is one of the best parts of life. It's impossible to go a few hours without listening to it. It is literally all around us, which quite frankly, isn't the best sign for music majors. Whether you aspire to be a superstar or someone making things happen behind the scenes, only one out of every eight music majors actually end up working in a field related to music. Even then, the average starting salary for a music major is only about $38,000. Music majors might truly be the "starving artist" personified. Following your passions despite struggling to make ends meet is a tried and true trope, but unfortunately, it is not nearly as glamorous as the movies make it seem.
