But when you’re going to college, it’s important to make every dollar count — whether you take on student loans or not. Because if you pick a major employers don’t care about, then you’re going to have a bad time. Why? On top of owing tens of thousands of dollars, you might not even be able to earn a living wage. Here are the 4-year degrees we recommend avoiding at all costs. 1: Creative writing Unless you have connections in the publishing space, a creative writing degree probably won't earn you much money. And whether you have connections or not, writing takes years of practice and grit to succeed. And even those who do succeed with creative writing — like J.K. Rowling — didn't find success until later in life. (She was 32 when the first “Harry Potter” was published.) So if you’re not a fan of [living paycheck to paycheck your entire 20s](, pick a more practical career — and write as a side gig.

But traditional universities might be a little behind the curve … and what you learn in them might not be practical today. For example, a university might teach you the history of advertising … and all the big names who made a splash in the industry. Interesting? Sure! But the internet has completely changed how marketing works. Now, companies can target ads to particular interests, niches, and personas. There’s no need to appeal to a mass market like they did in the old days. TLDR: Advertising is too broad of a subject. If you want to work in advertising, take some digital marketing or social media courses online. Good news: Marketing is in our top list of jobs with the [best odds of working from home](. 3: Exercise science Love personal fitness and nutrition? You may have considered a degree in exercise science. There are tons of interesting things to learn about the human body and health in general. But beware: personal trainer jobs don’t pay nearly enough to justify taking on mountains of debt. So if you really love exercise, maybe you just minor in it for your own sake. Then, pick a major with better chances of landing a higher-paying job and flex your personal training muscles as a side hustle.
