[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as 'usefulness' is concerned, the society and industries know the best, and they would pay more for the more useful major.  
If business major is useless at school A, humanities major would be much more useless.That's just a fact from the data by the Department of Education.
I thought this was common sense, but apparently a lot of people are clueless.No wonder about the national student debt crisis and responsible taxpayers are penalized for these ignorant people.  [/quote]

Ugh if you are an example of a vaunted STEM grad, I’ll pass. I was a humanities major at a liberal arts college and not even in executive leadership but make well into the six figures. So you’re saying that’s useless degree?  Are you saying that because I did not major in something that gave me specific job related skills then you are also wrong because though I did not “study” my field, I learned skills and gained competencies that made me a valuable candidate and employee while studying for my humanities degree.

No this was nothing to do with STEM.
OP is considering Marketing(business) and journalism.
This was in response to below post which is totally wrong.  
I corrected the totally wrong information for people.

[quote=Anonymous]With just a few exceptions, an undergraduate degree in business is not valued.  Major in English or Philosophy then get an MBA. Employers want people who can think and write. Minor in marketing if that interests her.

Our country desperately needs professional, real journalists. It’s hard to make it but critical to a healthy country. It’s important work but I can’t imagine how maddening it is to compete for clicks with all the trash bloggers pretending to be journalists.

Kids change their majors all the time.  Let her explore and figure it out on her own. [/quote]
