Want your kids to have well-paid jobs? They should avoid these courses

It's never easy.

Choosing what to study in college or university is probably one of the hardest decisions your child will make. And whether they're choosing as a 17-year-old fresh from school, or an adult who has decided to go back into education... they will always need to go with their gut and pick something that they're genuinely interested in. However, if they still want to earn a good wage, there are certain courses that they can choose... or not.
