YOUTUBE 7 Worst College Degrees That Lead No Where AdminJune 19, 2025019 views I break down 7 of the worst college degrees that promise success but often lead to debt, stress, and disappointment. Whether it’s low pay, limited job prospects, or emotional burnout, these degrees come with hidden costs you need to know. If you’re a student or parent planning for the future, this list could save you big. Let’s dive in. Degree #1 *💸 High salary (~$130K) but extreme stress and burnout. One mistake could cost lives; early retirement is common. My Take:** Skip it. Consider aircraft mechanic work—pays well with way less stress. Degree #2 Pays around $40–50K but comes with long hours and emotional strain. Many pastors experience burnout, loneliness, and financial pressure. My Take:Work a regular job and serve from the heart—without carrying the entire weight. Degree #3 Teaches you to be independent… at a massive cost. Most grads never start a business; it’s more theory than action. My Take: Spend $100 on books, get a job, and start small. Learn by doing, not overpaying. Degree #4 Valuable work, but salaries are low and stress is high. Burnout and debt are common, especially without advanced degrees. My Take: Help others in ways that also protect your well-being and finances. Degree #5 Looks glamorous, but it’s unstable and underpaid. Long hours, feast-or-famine income, and lots of competition. My Take:Keep your 9–5 and build your creative work on the side until it’s sustainable. Degree #6 Teachers work hard but often hit a financial ceiling. High stress, burnout, and limited growth opportunities. My Take: Teach independently—through tutoring or homeschooling—for more freedom and impact. Degree #7 Fast-changing industry; what you learn in school quickly becomes outdated. Low starting pay, and jobs are competitive and unstable. My Take: Learn online or from books. Aim for performance-based roles with commission upside. 00:00 – Start Here 01:03 – Degree #1 02:14 – Degree #2 03:31 – Degree #3 04:49 – Degree #4 06:31 – Degree #5 08:13 – Degree #6 09:57 – Degree #7 11:16 – Watch Out for This 💲Patreon Exclusive💲 https://www.patreon.com/tommybryson 😎Call Me😎: https://bit.ly/30IBr0i 😎Second Channel😎: https://bit.ly/3c4sVPS 👨🏽💻Financial Freedom Course👨🏽💻$100 OFF CODE: LONGTERM Link: https://longtermteam.teachable.com/p/financial-freedom-steps-from-nothing-to-freedom * PRO TIP* INFORMATION IS EVERYTHING 💲Patreon Exclusive💲 https://www.patreon.com/tommybryson 👕Merch👕 https://teespring.com/stores/tommybryson ✅2 FREE AUDIOBOOKS✅ https://amzn.to/2Enayo8¬¬¬ 🎁ACORN FREE $5🎁 Link: https://acorns.com/invite/38EYSU ⚡FREE KINDLE UNLIMITED⚡ (traditional reading) Link: https://amzn.to/2VGbxt9 👨🏽💻DISCORD PRIVATE GROUP👨🏽💻 https://discord.gg/EcZEHpA My Camera Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/tommybryson ✔ Help Us Reach 600,000 Subscribers: https://goo.gl/0wvm6w 😎All My Social Media😎 Link: https://linktr.ee/tommybryson *Some of the links and other products that appear on this video are from companies in which Tommy Bryson will earn an affiliate commission or referral bonus.
