To name a few.
Might be fun but finding a job?
Not so much.
Video game Design
Music Industry Studies
Ethnomusicality
Vineyard Management
Informatics
Rhetoric
Comparative Literature
Informatics experts are in high demand. As are coders and graphics designers for video gaming. A friend of mine studied informatics, now has his own biotech company.
Some of the others are academic fields that have been around for centuries, and offer the chance to teach and do research. Vineyard mgmt is part of agribusiness, and offers well-paying jobs. The newer fields on the list have seen growth in demand for trained specialists, which is why universities responded with courses.
You seem to have cut/pasted again, and with no idea what you're talking about.
None of those graduates are in high demand.
Not one.
As for cut and pasting, I made a list, albeit a small one, copied it and pasted it.
Sue me.
Informatics is the popular current term for computer science you cretin.
For one branch of it, but not all of it.
Only 945 informatics jobs on Indeed at the moment.
149 Vineyard Manager openings, but 900 other jobs that call for that training.
Over 1000 video game designer/developer jobs.
I'll grant Ward that there are only a few dozen jobs calling for Music Industry Studies. explicitly, but would wager a large amount of money that few of those with that degree are not going on to grad school - or ever planned otherwise. Studying any industry preps one for being able to understand others. See also: Liberal Arts majors and Philosophy Majors.
Hadn't heard of ethnomusicality as a field before, but I suspect that it aligns with ethnomusicology, for which there are some jobs out there. High demand? Nope - but how many ethnomusicality degrees got handed out last year?
Ward listed Rhetoric and Comparative Lit?!
Hahahahaha!
Setting aside that there are more than 800 jobs calling for a background that rhetoric is explicitly desired for, again, rhetoric is a stepping stone degree into a host of fields, including law.
Comparative lit is another major that was never intended as a terminal degree. But... there are more than 5,000 editorial positions, Ward. You think those are beyond a Comparative Lit major?! You know what other major is considered a good path for a future editor?! Rhetoric!
There is no major in editing.
Made that list up yourself, you claim?
You should be so proud. You found TWO majors that don't have tons of openings in their fields.
You got it backwards.
The higher the number of openings reflects lower demand most likely do to the annual salary.

I am pretty sure Red views college as a high end trade school. And that he would consider my degree in Justice, Morality and Constitutional Democracy "useless" after finding 0 ads for positions calling for that degree on Indeed.
Given his snide comment to Larry about "we're" vs. "were," it is entertaining to see him use "do" rather than "due."
Given his comment about legislators' pay, his list is suspect, but what else is new?
Our legislators start at $70k.
The National Conference of State Legislatures classifies state legislatures as full-time, part-time, or hybrid.
Full-time states have legislators who devote 84 percent of a full time job to their legislative duties which include committee hearings, listening sessions, constituent service, and time spent campaigning. On average, each full-time legislator is paid about $82,358.[4]
Hybrid states have legislators who devote 74 percent of a full time job to their legislative duties. Legislators estimate they spend more than two-thirds of a full-time job on their legislative duties. On average, each hybrid legislator is paid about $41,590.[4]
Part-time states have legislators who devote 57 percent of a full time job to their legislative duties. On average, each legislator is paid about $18,449. These are also called "traditional or citizen legislatures" and the legislators typically need additional sources of income outside the legislature to make a living.[4]
And no, not all of those jobs require a college degree. Basically, Ward is swallowing somebody's horseshit raw and then shitting it here.
