Higher Education

I read an article from yahoo news this morning suggesting that there are degrees that limit your career opportunities.  The citation from the article was taken from the 2012-3013 Department of Labor statistics and a 2013 Georgetown Study called "Hard Times".  The "four degrees that can ruin your career chances", are as follows:  Economics, Political Science and Government, Information Systems, and Architechure.  Economics unemployment rate was 10.4% an alternative was to go into finance instead.  Political Science unemployment rate was 11.1% and suggested criminal justice instead.  Information Systems unemployment rate was 14.7% and suggested computer science as a better alternative.  Architechure unemployment rate was 12/8% and said civil engineer was a better choice.I though it was good information after our doc. 3 assignment.  Here is the link to the article:  http://education.yahoo.net/articles/degrees_with_poor_job_prospects.htm?kid=1O16C
