These are relevant degree courses up to tomorrow. From a cost-benefit analysis point of view, they offer the best successful outcomes against time and money spent in a university. I may have missed one or two. But not much. If your degree is not there, chances are that AI has already rendered it obsolete.
Political science, languages and linguistics, sociology, philosophy, library science, public administration, and mass communication are okay to read for just a few people. But when hundreds of thousands study these courses in a country with few opportunities for such areas of specialisation, you may want to tread softly.
If you follow me, you will know how much I admire and am committed to studying languages, linguistics, and etymology. But I am only able to do this because, by the grace of God, I have money. If I was broke, I could not do it. And if you have fifty thousand languages and linguistic graduates in one country, they will not find jobs. Fifty to a hundred is okay. Anything more is wahala!
The point is that many courses now offered by many universities are obsolete. According to research from the Pew Institute, some universities only offer such courses to raise their income. Many, including Oxford and Cambridge, are shutting down some out-of-date departments.
Instead of spending $20,000 and four years to read a course irrelevant to modern life, you are better off taking a six to one-year course and learning a marketable on-demand skill. Please don’t insult me. It is just the reality.
