Newsweek: The 13 Most Useful* College Majors (As Determined By Science)

newsweek:

1. Nursing

2. Mechanical Engineering

3. Electrical Engineering

4. Civil Engineering

5. Computer Science

6. Finance

7. Marketing and Marketing Research

8. Mathematics

9. Accounting

10. French, German, Latin, and other Common Foreign Languages

11. …

I don’t usually go in for calling people on their cultural biases, but LATIN? Common foreign language? French? You know there are more people on the planet that speak Wu, Marathi, Telugu and Javanese EACH than there are French speakers? Never mind Mandarin, SPANISH, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Punjabi?
