Business and STEM careers are the most in demand.
I have a practical degree but can't get a job because no one takes me serious. Others in my high school class followed their dreams, and have become highly successful, creating their own demand in their unconventional field of choice. Degrees in art are anything but useless if that's truly where one's interest lies, and a practical degree is as worthless as the paper it's printed on if the degree holder doesn't have the disposition for it.
