My electronic friend Bill Barnwell posted this link on the 8 degrees with the worst return on investment in terms of likely salary:
8. Sociology
7. Fine arts
6. Education
5. Religious Studies/Theology
4. Hospitality/Tourism
3. Nutrition
2. Psychology
1. Communications
Potentially fulfilling, yes. Possible life calling, maybe. Money makers, no.

Hmmm... #2 on my wall and #5 in progress... glad I'm not so desirous of the finer things!
I am so glad to see that English Literature (B.A.) did not make the list but note that my M.A. (#5) has moved me down, rather than up, the pay scale. But I wonder if "Communication" is not the "English Lit" of the 21st century.
Still not sure I would trade either for more money though the thought is tempting.
Are you trying to depress me?
Ironic (?) that "ability to communicate" is one of the top desires of most employers, at least what I've heard in Environmental Science. You can train someone to learn a little software, regulations, etc... you can't very well train someone (on the job) to write/speak.
I'm surprised that Social Work didn't make the list.
