Analog/Digital: Unwanted: Don't bother earning a degree in anthropology or archaeology. Yahoo! Education (an appropriate name, I'd say) has today published an article on the top 5 most unwanted, unhelpful degrees a person could possibly waste their time earning. Some usual suspects make the list, like Philosophy and Religion, while more unexpected ones like Architecture (you should do an MBA instead, apparently, which doesn't bode well for our buildings) and Information Systems also appear.
Perhaps not unsurprisingly is that Anthropology and Archaeology make the list at #3, followed by Area Ethnic or Civilization Studies, which I can't help but feel are also close enough to anthropology for this to be a double sting. According to Vicki Lynn, senior vice president of Universum, a global talent recruiting company that works with many Fortune 500 companies, bachelors degrees in anthropology and area studies are useless for finding a job. In other words, they are worthless. Unwanted Degree #3 - Anthropology or ArcheologyInteresting? In case you missed it: See also:

Note: This is the first of many Roundtable installments to come—a wide-ranging attempt to look at a topic through many different sociological lenses. Soon, we’ll be taking on politics and humor and how sociologists and political scientists each have a different idea of just what polling is and does. Enjoy! A Minnesotan by the name of Bob Dylan once sang “the times they are a changin’.” It was the ‘60s then, but with the rise of the Tea Party, ”The Arab Spring,” the Wisconsin state house standoff, and the global spread of the Occupy Movement, Dylan’s lyrics seem just as fresh in 2012. Briefly describe your study and what drew you to this topic? Myra Marx Ferree: I’ve looked at various feminist organizing practices and organizations in the U.S., Germany, and Russia. Fabio Rojas: I am a sociologist who focuses on organizational behavior and politics. Neal Caren and Sarah Gaby: We were interested in how protest movements use social networking sites.
