Top 5 useless college degrees with worst ROI (one worth -$104,015)

For me, many of the top benefits of going to university had nothing to do with money.

I desperately needed a change of scenery and to get out of my parents’ house, and moving halfway across the country to start a new life was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I learned how to fend for myself and succeed without a safety net.

I met my future wife there, and we’ve been together some 23 odd years now and have two wonderful kids.

I met my best buddy there, and he remains part of a very tight circle in my life.

Sure, I suppose I learned a few things too, but I’d say the main financial benefit of my degree was putting me in contact with people in my industry and opening up internship opportunities.

All in all, I’d do university again in a heartbeat.

My degree returned enough to help me develop a great career, and the life experiences were absolutely priceless.

But are there degrees that are so useless, so financially flaccid, that it makes them cost prohibitive even as a gateway to the college vibe?

Let’s talk about some new data and an updated ranking of college degrees that could actually wind up costing you a ton of money over a lifetime.
