Yahoo Education last week released an article “College Majors That Are Useless” which ranked Agriculture, Animal Science and Horticulture as the first, fourth and fifth most useless college majors, respectively.
The article sent waves of indignation through the ag communities which encountered the article. By the following day, there were several response editorials in agricultural publications, like Drovers, complete with long lists of reader comments.
The Facebook group, “I Studied Agriculture & I Have a Job,” sprung into being shortly after the Yahoo article was published and already has more than 4,200 followers.
