What do you think of social sciences like geography, history, politics etc? Some thinks these are useless, but i dont think these are hobby degrees tho

Geography is not a hobby degree.... town planners, landscape architects and environmental consultants normally require them... in Malaysia maybe it is rather niche but in some countries... they are in demand for cartographer....

History... archeologist perhaps?? a rather niche job but when it comes to the occupations in demand... you need the said degree...

political science is actually required in some countries if you want to work in the ministry department.... they would normally require either law/political science/economics/business management etc. as requirement.... but con9lan7firm would reject music/tourism degree holders...


Most industry would accept degree of any kind for general jobs EXCEPT leisure degrees like music/tourism/film/sports...


Honestly speaking... you are pretty safe studying any kind of degree so long as it is not leisure degrees like music/tourism/film/sports... whereby in people's mind know it is a "for fun" degree.... cause most industry will just take any sort of graduates...

In my personal opinion at least....

the worst hobby degree ever exist is tourism and hospitality....

ma kai hai... even music and other hobby degree etc. they are at least still can have some sort of knowledge gained in that specific field...

but what is tourism and hospitality even good for?? I saw the modules that they study.... basic general management... basic language courses... basic culinary.... basic hotel management....(basically the first 2 YEARS.... cover all the BARE BASICS of business, culinary and hotel management) then the rest is about tourism & hospitality development studies ...which includes level 1 language studies pukimak... they even got field trips as part of their modules ....

Tourism industry itself don't even need graduates and could hire part timers... it is pretty much a suicide course from the get go...

Hence... i believe tourism and hospitality is like being design just to take in students who cannot study at all but want a certificate...

How's law school like? Are the subjects tough?

Thinking of learning law as well. Can use it against corrupted people

lots of students, not many graduate and even fewer get called to the bar.

You get a nice badge to slap on your car plate, though.

Would sports mgmt, office admin, library science count to be useless too?

managing a kitchen is not easy, not sure if the degree covers all the aspects though

/k got degree

professional keyboard warrior

based on google search result for most useless / unemployed degree... then I guess I would have to say yes...

HOTEL MANAGEMENT, BACHELOR OF INTERNATIONAL HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT

Tbh i think most people just whack wadever course they can easily enrol into without thinking ahead. Thats why everything is a mess.

Business admin should be considered as one.

Engineering. Me last time like to watch how engineering documentary.

For the most part.... at the very least they could still get general office jobs... even English literature... is still considered "hirable" for general jobs by HR...

not so much if you end up with leisure degrees like music/film/tourism etc.

I notice reputable companies or big MNC... they tend to skip hobby degrees during filtering (whether it is fresh or experienced).... even though the job states "degree of any field"

Eng litt is not bad. At least their english improves though not perfect. Makes them employable.

I'm not pulling facts out of my ass like other people here.... just google most employable degree...

so many stupid /k/... kept saying business... mathematics/actuarial... etc. to be "hobby degree".... I think they must have studied tourism degree and tak tau malu now wanna drag other people to their level.... can't drag those famous Lawyer/Engineer/Doctor jobs... so drag the next best....

bodoh betul these hobby grads..

Dota degree

I see many people hating on business admin degrees...

in terms of ease of study... I can say it is much easier than specialised business degree because business admin study all the basics of every other business degree (i.e. accounting/finance/management/economics)...

Hack... even their MBA is easier than specialised like MSc Finance or MSc International management because the thesis topic can be very broad and normally only rquire 10-11k word count...

whereas specialised like MSc Management/Finance/Marketing... they are much harder because they do the same research thesis but only limited to their field of study...

for example... if finance... you can only do research on finance related topic... and it is marked stricter because they expect you to be experts in the field... whereas they don't expect deeper discussions for MBA students who choose to write finance related topics

and their word count are normally 15k... 50% more than MBA



But no matter what people here is saying... BBA/MBA/DBA is still considered a business degree and is still employable.... so stop your bullshit..

First world country yes, in Malaysia no.

Courses like "subjected allied to medicine" such as biomed, biotech, bio, chem in Malaysia is very dead end, better seek for opportunity in other countries or else most likely will work in sales/insurance. Also, we dont have FAANG company for these Math/AppliedMath/Statistic grad as well, as these major tends to able to get into high tech company in first world country. Hell, even engineering is also doom and gloom in malaysia, where most of the grad just work in manufacturing industry jaga foreign workers/operators (good thing is engineering grad can easily get job than other majors)

Malaysia is a place that hardly brings out innovative initiatives. We don’t try. We only need Bangladeshi workers
