I bet in most of those majors the best option is to get a Masters/PhD and become a professor in that field.
Indeed. Unless you are going to be a Professor or teacher most of those are a waste. College should be about training you for a real world skill to make money with, not abstract ideas with no real value. If you are really good enough in those areas to make a living, the degree isn't needed. Most famous musicians and actors barely have high school educations. Most pro athletes never finish their degrees once signed to a team.

And honestly, the degree just serves as foot in the door. An edge over non-experienced folks for entry level positions. Employers will take people with 10 years experience over a college grad any day of the week for higher level jobs.
