Most useless degree in today's AI era?

[Riya]

You all know how tough the job market is. Which degree seems useless or has the least scope nowadays?

[Gauri]

Every degree feels useless once you see the syllabus is years behind real‑world needs.

If you stay creative in any field, you'll always find work. Invent faster or better ways to do things and jobs will follow.

If you don't graduate from a good college, unemployment is likely. There's already a 5‑times oversupply of engineers, and AI is making it tougher.

The same goes for BAs – the most popular degree in India, yet it doesn't equip you with technical skills.

[Shobha]

BA, BSc Zoology, Botany.

[Cricfan]

Dentistry – probably the worst, even without AI.

[Bhavesh]

BTech, easily.

[Pavithra]

Probably Computer Science.

The long‑term impact is still unclear, but big players like OpenAI and Anthropic are focusing heavily on enterprise SDLC.

If they capture even 50 % of the market, companies might need only about 20 % or less of the current workforce.

Meanwhile, most other engineering streams were already facing challenges. Choose a branch you're truly passionate about, or develop that passion.

[Nath]

All basic science degrees except Chemistry.

Often, people who are unaware or isolated (no relatives or friends) end up in these courses.

[Cricfan]

Will marketing and sales be taken over by AI?

[Umesh]

Most bachelor's degrees are outdated and stuck in ancient syllabi, pushing people toward a master's.

[Dayanand]

I think, apart from medical and culinary courses, almost everything else is over‑hyped.
