Maybe this isn't a thing anymore, but back in the day it was pretty standard to do some market research before picking a major. It didn't make any sense for me to throw a lot of my money at a college education if it wasn't going to pay off later. We used to call getting a useless degree as majoring in 'underwater basket weaving'. Compared to some of the crap offered today, that actually sounds kind of useful. At least you could score a job at Weeki Wachee or an aquarium.
