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?

4. Anthropology
Anthropology is one of the harder majors to rank. It is another one of those undeniably intriguing topics, something that you could spend your entire life studying without ever coming across the same thing twice. While the average starting salary for an anthropology major is higher than most on this list at $40,500, it is also one of the hardest degrees to find employment for. Over 12,000 people graduated with a degree in anthropology in 2016. Compare that to the meager 700 job openings looking specifically for anthropology majors.
