Most underemployed majors according to the U.S. Census American Community Survey

If 95% of college students only pursued those options those fields would quickly become oversaturated and no longer be as employable/high paying.

I mean, even when I say that, people would still try to get degrees in marketing, film, literature, music composition, etc.
They quickly become underpaid and suffer from unemployment or poor employment conditions/terms.

I can tell you now. Please make $100k salary with Computer Science, IT, Medical, Engineering degrees.
Later you can study film, music, performing art, history, archaeology, anthropology, humanities, sociology, dance, english literature as your hobby.

You can pursue these unemployable degrees AFTER you make millions of dollars with employable degrees.

i.e. You can get BS in CS, retire by early 30.  Later, you can decide to do another BA in film studies or history as a hobby.
If your hobby starts making money for you, then it's good. If not, then stop spending too much money on it.

My buddy went to film school.  He only has to work 3 months out of the year to fund his entire life doing lighting on film sets.  His goal was to do camera work, but his path took him a different direction and he has been very successful.  A lot of people with education in social science have gone on to do data science, work in the foreign service or other government jobs and do very well.  I think the major take away is that if you get one of these degrees that generally underperforms, you need to know very specifically what you want to get out of it.  You're probably not going to music school and becoming the next Mozart, and you're not shooting the next Marvel movie straight out of film school.  But these things can make money if you're very intentional about how you go about it.  I got a political science degree and was hired for a very high paying job six months later.  I had a lot of experience which is the main reason I got the job, but a degree was a requirement.  Funny enough, now I'm going back for Computer Science/Data Science, but that's just the bend my career took, and this is a step that should get me to the next level.  But there are lots of paths.
