I like how you listed ten of the majors to avoid. I didn't think commercial arts and graphic design would've had such a high unemployment rate. Also I think this post could be better if you added a few pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis post captured my attention because I am still undecided on what field of business to go into. I think its interesting that Anthropology is the number 1 major to avoid. My sister majored in Anthropology at Loyola University Chicago and is now fully employed making a good living, but there are always exceptions. I was glad to see that zero Business majors appeared on this list of 10 majors to avoid.
