If you want to avoid the worst-paying college degrees, think twice before choosing a college major that involves children.

Included among the 20 worst-paying college degrees are elementary education, special education, social work and child and family studies. That's the conclusion of the latest annual study of college degrees by Payscale, Inc. that compiled starting and mid-career pay for dozens of college majors.

    • Hey Moron or wellhung limp whatever u call urself. What's so bad about being in teaching for the money. I do my job I care about my kids but it's a tough job and I don't think there's anything wrong w/ getting paid well for doing it. Maybeu just jealous b/c u have a useless degree and r still paying off ur loans.lol There is this matyr /sainthood complex associated with teaching it's like u shld only do it for ur love of kids hell y pay us at all?
      If a lawyer says he's in it for the money & he's good u wld still hire him right? So if a good teacher is in it for the money who cares she may be better thann the idiot that loves kids but can't control class and is dumber than my cat. Some of the worst teachers r the ones that 'love' kids. yeah u love kids but can u teach? That's what matters ur ability to do a job not y u do it. That is y many charter schools and low paying states can't attract and keep good teachers. U can't pay people $15,000 less than NYC , expect teachers to work 10 hr. days for less money and think they'll come back next year. Btw Well hung and limp do u get paid from ur job assuming u have one lol wld u do it for no money? I don't think so asshole. I went to school for a M.S. of Ed not for my health but so I cld make money. Since they raised the reqirements to become a teacher they shld give us a raise (and we got one). It now requires a Master's degree to teach kindergarten it costs $ to get that degree. U need more education to teach Pre-K than to be a stock broker what a joke!
      Later well hung limp go play with ur penis. Penis puller!

    • No college should NOT be free and in Europe universities r free for those who make the cut if u do not score high enough u don't go to any university whether u r willing to pay a tuition or not. It is a complete meritocracy. I think this is terrible ur entire professional life is based on ur school grades and an entrance exam u take at 18! For those who aren't in the top percentage they go on to vocational schools whether they want to or not. Also, in america pretty much any and every loser goes to college so now a college degree means nothing. It's supply and demand stupid the more people go to college the less having a degree matters. Now u need a grad degree and have to spend more $ & waste more yrs. Also Alex y do u think we have waiters & cab drivers in America with Doctorates? Because if everybody gets educated and has a degree we still need people to work @ McDonald's, wait tables and clean office bldgs only now many of them will have gone to a university. It's already happening here. Another effect will be that these jobs may become more lucrative than let's say being a teacher which requires a B.A and an Master's. Who the fuck wants to bust their ass in 7+ yrs. of school tom make less than someone that picks up trash and gets off at 2PM. Y go to college at all then?

      I want to be reborn into George Bush's family so I can fuck off, avoid the war in Vietnam, fly cool little jet fighters, buy a sports team and make $30 million off the deal and have the right friends in office to make sure I don't pay much in taxes on that, become president of the US and marry someone like Laura Bush. Well, maybe not that, though I met her and George W in a dream once. She did seem nice enough. In fact George was a jolly little fuck as well.

      Little loose on the grammar there my friend. You mean in Europe they not only get health care and prescriptions, but higher education as well? You think we may have been sold a bill of goods about this America is the Greatest thing? Ya think? Kinda makes us look stupid to anyone keeping score. Problem with Europe is they do not particularly want immigrants from the US. And my father was born in Germany.

    • LOL... this is somewhat like the article I read earlier that talked about the debts of college and the ACTUAL payoffs of going have now become so unbalanced it's better for many people to NEVER go to college at all and just work.

      Kurt Vonnegut once quoted a friend who said that "Cultural Anthropology was poetry masquerading as science." Kinda liked that. Get a car instead of a box. It is kinda nice in the rain. I got a little B&W TV for $20 that worked with the car lighter deal. Did that for 3 months and I was working full time.

    • When I started college, I wanted to be a nuclear physicist. In high school I had completed two years of honors physics a year of honors chemistry and three years of honor math...physicist just seemed the logical path. So my first semester schedule included two science classes, two math classes, a gym class and an English class.

      After three weeks, I was nodding off during all of my math and science classes. But when each period ended in the English class, I was disappointed that we couldn't continue.

      So I switched to a dual major in English and History. I had to do some graduate work to make myself marketable. But I had a phenomenally enjoyable four years of college.

      Do what you love to do. If you are doing what you love, it will show, and the money will come...

      kids parents' money? Sometimes. THink about all the kids going to Brooks and taking out 100k loans. I overheard this girl on the bus talk about how they had promised her a job and room and board when she got here from the midwest. Then she came and they were like "Whoops, we don't have any of those things, looks like you need MORE emergency loans."

      My boarder line retarded daughter could write and speak standard English better than most of the college grads I ran into in the 80's. Comprehension, not so good. Once said to her mother, "I think I am a little retarded." to which her mother replied, "Yeah, you are, but isn't it neat that no one else has figured it out?" Her teachers could never figure out the discrepancy in her scores. Don't know why I thought of that tonight. Amazing what expectations can do.

    • I don't know y everybody always says elementary teachers make no money. In NYC they make alright money. My first year as a NYC public school teacher I made $58,000 a year. My second year with a 2% raise every year and bonuses I made $65,000 a year. I don't really like being a teacher however, whenever I look for other jobs the starting salary is always less than what I make as a teacher. I make $65,000 to work 10 months out of the year at a job I really don't like. It sounds funny when I tell people I'm in it for the money but it's true at least in NYC.

      Because they aren't talking about elementary teachers in NYC, they are talking about the national average.

      And it doesn't sound funny that someone who is meant to teach and get children to appreciate learning is only in it for the money. I could probably use hundreds of words to describe it before I got to funny.

      LOser read what I wrote. What's so bad about being a teacher for the money I'm good at it so if ur kid likes me and learns alot in my class who cares y I'm donig it. I'm a much more effective teacher than some of these morons that go around saying they teach b/c they 'love' kids. Who cares if u love kids u can't control a class and ur dumber than my cat. Love doesn't teach u how to read.

      LOmuthafuckinL, you must be a sad, despicable woman. Not only do you sound like a caller trying to get on Jim Rome's radio show with your plays on words, but you're a shitty English teacher.

      My sentence:
      I could probably use hundreds of words to describe it before I got to funny.
      Your change:
      I could probably use hundreds of words to describe it before I go to funny.

      The problem, as any worthwhile elementary English teacher could tell you, is your proposal to change the tense mid sentence. Could is a past tense word, as is got. Were I to make the change you described I would also need to change could to would. We don't even need to get into your lack of skills with punctuation marks or your use of "ur" and "lol" in a grown-up conversation.

      I feel bad for your students.

      P.S.
      The word is grammar.

    • Add Master's of Education to the list. I am unemployed and currently make nothing. Should have stayed in the Teamsters and not taken my parents advise and got an education so I could get a "good job." How were they to know?

      In any case, good to know our kids are putting themselves into $150,000 of non dis-chargeable debt to go to college so they can get a $15.00/Hour job, maybe. USA = SCAM.

      YES. Don't know who "hit n run" 'd that to escape accountability and act with honor,....but +^d from me. Our schools don't EXIST for the benefit of "business",...they are here to simply ALLOW for the MERE POTENTIAL for--------- autonomous self analytical culturally evolving catalytic individuals,.....who are INDIVIDUALS,..............FIRST,... as an end and an art unto themselves.

      "School" is NOT "the fucking army",...or "the draft pool",...it is the breath and heartbeat of the culture itself,....this is where our legacy LIVES,........and you should be able to KNOW its alive; through the yearning life alive in the eyes of those coming up and onward,...and those just giving them a loving hand.

      "Money doesn't predict happiness or job satisfaction."

      yeah, but it sure as hell doesn't hurt happiness or job satisfaction either, whereas a lack thereof almost certainly guarantees the reverse of both.

      I love it when you talk dirty. Been in a school lately? I was teaching 7th - 12th last year. Not a lot of beautiful and unique snowflakes there. And college has always been funded by corporations. Why do you think it has become so expensive?

    • They should have calculated in the proportion of graduates who don't land a position in their area of study.

      I would have loved to come out of college with a 37K a year job had I continued studying music. I betcha that at least 70% of my classmates didn't land one of those jobs.

      Then get a degree in it,...its the only RATIONAL thing to do.

      p.s. All my ol art buds seem to be doing sci-fi vid-game graphics - I think that is one of the great dumping grounds for the "Fine Art" degree,.....THAT however CAN pay very well.

      Still worth a lot to be a competent artist/draftsman,....QUICK, BRIGHT, good learning curve,...etc.
