I've always heard degrees in art are useless. The only degrees that are worth anything these days are said to be business, science, engineering, and math which are of course the always in demand STEM fields. Even people who have degrees in psychology, education, or communication are having a hard time finding jobs. I'm 22 so I'm seeing everyone I know try to get jobs with their different degrees.
Business and STEM careers are the most in demand. The degrees that focus on creativity are the least in demand. Which is lame, but it makes sense, since the creative jobs are the ones that usually require you to be self employed in the first place.
But the psychology, communication and education degrees are so overpopulated with graduates that they're hard to squeeze into because of all the competition and the sheer amount of new grads in those fields.
