According to their actual explanation of this major: “Music therapy is the scientific application of the art of music within a therapeutic relationship to meet the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals.” Which is a big, fancy way of saying “We’ll teach you how to make a mix tape.”

I cracked up.

Que the bitching. :wacko:

Even though it's a joke article, the only one I actually agree with is Latin. Seriously, how many jobs can you get with a degree in Latin?

[CupOfCoffee]

Pahaha. All my art history professors have indeed had that dull, haunted look in their eyes that usually says "I majored in Art History." Also my good friend is a film major and would almost definitely agree to its place on the list.

You could be the person who translates the lyrics of orchastrated Final Fantasy boss fight music.

I can vouch for the film one.

[Abashi76]

A few of those ought to be classes rather than majors (eg: art history).

What about Basket Weaving?

My Mom's co-worker has 2 BA's in Basket Weaving.

[Eihwaz]

Well, given what the classes are like, I'd rather be a film major than a business major. >_>;

Funny article. Good thing MY major isn't there (Asian Studies) XD

[Solstis]

Yay for entry-level jobs (English Lit). Okay, I have to find one, but still.

Once you've had enough jobs to bury your degree at the bottom of your resume by years of experience, it won't matter much.
