Description: Dive into Aaron Clarey's eye-opening exploration in "Worthless: The Young Person’s Indispensable Guide to Choosing the Right Major," a book that challenges the conventional wisdom on college education. Published by Paric Publishing in 2011, this 180-page trade paperback delivers a direct, no-nonsense examination of the American higher education system and the economic realities of various college majors. Clarey's stark advice is to prioritize majors that offer clear, tangible career paths, particularly advocating for STEM fields—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math—due to their higher economic returns and job stability. Clarey critiques the liberal arts and humanities, arguing that they often do not provide the same level of job security or financial stability. The book is intended as a reality check to help students make more informed decisions about their education, highlighting the pitfalls of choosing majors that are less likely to yield a substantial return on investment. Clarey uses blunt language to emphasize the practical over the idealistic, making it a crucial read for students seeking guidance in an increasingly complex educational landscape.
