7 Worst College Majors That Are a Total Waste of Investment

Sociology

Choosing sociology means that you are more about helping other people and less of yourself. You definitely need this mind set or else you will just be frustrated. This field does not translate to being wealthy at all. Social workers earn around $47,000 a year. Sociologists may also work as corrections officer, but even this job only pays less than $40,000 a year, plus major risks that come with the job. You really have to prepare yourself for the challenge of the job if you are to choose this major.
