Some degrees really are a waste of time and money: These are the 10 worst-paying college majors

College is often touted as a time for young people to explore their passions and interests. But passion isn’t going to pay the bills.

Foreign language majors earn the lowest salary of all early-career college graduates, with a median annual income of $40,000. General social sciences majors hover close by with a $41,000 median salary.
