One of the Worst Education Articles I've Read
#1
This is one of the worst education articles/rankings I have ever seen. There's no methodology mentioned, and there are few stats. The ranking seems random and based on one person's uninformed opinion. This person goes on and on about how awful he or she thinks some careers are and thinks that justifies the rankings. If you get a job that pays more than $50k per year, how is that a terrible ROI? He may think those jobs are too stressful, but some people want those careers. 

According to this person, a general social science degree has a better ROI than mathematics. I doubt that's true. But, it's easy to point out how illogical it is to think that psychology, human services and sociology have much worse ROIs than a general social science degree when they're similar subjects that lead to similar jobs. If that weren't enough to ruin the author's credibility, he thinks that philosophy is a social science. 

The dumbest part of this article is that the author thinks that earth science has a poor ROI because you have to read a lot and put in serious time in a lab.
