Popular College Major Has One of Highest Unemployment Rates
- jqpabc123 1y agoBottom line: College is crap nowadays --- regardless of the major --- and employers know this from experience. A degree means you somehow came up with the money to purchase a piece of paper that actually proves very little with regard to your ability, motivation or work ethic. Actually getting a job offer now requires something more than just a piece of paper.
