I'm not asking what's the worst/one you respect the least. I'm asking what's the least likely to help you get work.

I think generically, the "worst" degree is one that is highly specialized, and overstaffed. People point at liberal arts, but the problem with it is there are a lot of people with those degrees and not enough jobs that use them effectively. You could get a hyper specific degree but if there are 10 people that work in the field and 10 jobs and isn't growing, or you could get a very broad degree that has 100,000 jobs but also has 100,000 people working in it and also isn't growing, you're just as out of luck.

You have to find a degree that matches what you're willing to do or learn with who is willing to pay you/grow. Even then, there's no done deals. 10 years ago Computer Science was one of the top degrees to get, now people are fleeing the programs.

    history is apparently another one, especially if you are going to be a western history professors, its oversaturated. asian, polynesian, other ethnic history is still in need. but alot of people in the west dont want to study ASIA.
