I’m not asking what’s the worst/one you respect the least. I’m asking what’s the least likely to help you get work.

    One you can’t back up in an interview without pulling up chatgpt, and only if you have no prior work experience.

    After you’ve had a job for a year or two every degree question is just “did they get a degree,” and even then rarely is there a care; the post-grad job performance is what matters.

    This is coming from a Journalism major/English minor who got a job in programming a decade and change ago by getting an internship at a company that later hired them (I was familiar with Linux and cross-platform tools the CS majors wouldn’t usually touch and which mattered to this company).

    Of course, things are always changing. But fundamentally if you can’t back up your BA/S it won’t matter what it is.
