College majors are abundant, though not all offer the same bang for your education dollar. In fact, there have been numerous reports since 2012 that a good skill-based career can earn you the same amount of money as a bachelor’s degree in many fields of higher education. That’s why we found it amusing that someone recently asked the question of redditors to describe their college majors in individual slogans. Here are some of the best.
