(you will be poor unless you are a statistical anomaly. These degrees mean you will earn 30K or less per year. When the median income is 48K. This means you are barely better off than working minimum wage.)

(Institutionalized Motherhood – Stay home and have kids instead.)

Human Services and Community Organization

Social Work

Counseling Psychology

Early Childhood Education

(institutionalized childhood – save your money and don’t go to college – just volunteer or go to training schools)

Drama and Theater Arts

Studio Arts

Visual and Performing Arts

(Institutionalized introspection – you don’t need education.)

Theology and Religious Vocations

(fields flooded with applications and which do not require skills)

Communication Disorders Sciences and Service

Health and Medical Preparatory Programs

CLOSING COMMENT

IMHO, you are better off taking the lightest possible load, at one of the least expensive and least difficult colleges, in one of the top four fields than you are taking any load in any other degree. You MUST learn to use abstractions at some point. Your intuitions and perceptions are limited to what any other animal can make use of. Only through using abstractions – the mental equivalent of tools – will other humans pay you for your time. Everything else is a useless commodity by comparison.

(I studied fine art. But god gave me gifts. I could tolerate self-enlightenment.)
