I'm talking about at the bachelor level only. Useless with no discernible skill?
The whole "I have critical thinking skills" speech seems to be a major cop out. You can get a useful degree and still have critical thinking skills. If any thing, you showed that you have poor critical thinking skills by investing the time and money into getting a useless degree that has generally low employment prospects along with low pay.
It seems like someone has an agenda to push. Sorry, but you don't get to define "useful" for the rest of the country. Use the search function; this topic has been done to death (insert beating a dead horse picture here).
When I was a sales manager I loved Psyc & sociology majors, anybody who studies how people's minds work would help them in sales and marketing. As an owner of an accounting firm I really have no need to hire them.
But a lot of people hate sales and its a default career.
Also, commission only sales jobs are very difficult at best. Only 5% of people who work on commission only, will earn enough money to fully support themselves.
A base salary + commission is slightly better, but sales is still hard.

I would love to see a stat to back up that only 5% of the people who work on commission only make enough to support themselves. I know plenty that do it as their only household income and do well at it. Hell I did it for nearly 10 years myself.
There are many people with psych degrees who end up working in clinical research (academia as well as industry) and having very successful and lucrative careers.

There was a statistic about it not too long ago. But it doesn't apply to people who are married or have some other source of income. It means "fully supporting oneself".
