"what are the most overrated degrees AND why'd you say that?"
No way. Lamborghinis for each day of the week, satisfying career path, hero worship from the community, women/men throwing themselves at you, status.
Living the dream.

Any degree that's doesn't get you a job after like medicine, pharmacy, nursing, architecture 11/10 you somehow end up with a job should you succeed.

Other degrees like mine economics, you still suffer through the degree and then face a rough period of unemployment. Overrated for the depression it causes smh

Lol sounds like you don’t quite know what being a doctor is like 😂
So far we have Economics.

Any more?

Not sure there are that many degrees that are rated in the first place?
Vet Med. Who even likes animals? :colonhash:
Viking Studies. They always bang on about the endless career prospects you'll have if you take that degree.

Econ is definitely one of the more employable degrees. Not as much as med/eng clearly, but it's up there.
