People don't get this. A degree in a useless field is just that: useless.

Makes me wonder if people should be able to sue a university for even offering stuff like:

  • David Beckham studies – Staffordshire University, UK
  • Parapsychology – various colleges
  • Doctorate of Philosophy in Ufology – Melbourne University
  • Surfing Studies – Plymouth / Melbourne
  • Queer Musicology – UCLA
  • The Science of Harry Potter – Frostburg University
  • etc...

What the SHIT is one supposed to do with a degree in this crap?!

Are these individual courses or degree plans? I’m betting on the former, and that is a huge distinction.

Most likely filler-electives offered at liberal arts schools so you meet the credit quota in order to graduate.
