OT: Top Five Degrees

AOL is touting one of it's badly padded articles, "Degrees Through The
Decades" by Jennifer Merritt. It's not worth reading. However, it
does list the "Top Five Degrees" by decade. By "Top Five" Merritt
means 'degrees most awarded.'

1970s: Education, Social Sciences and History, Business, English, and
(in 5th place) Biology.

1980s: Business, Education, Social Sciences and History, Health, and
(in 5th place) Engineering.

1990s: Business, Social Sciences and History, Education, Health, and
Psychology.

2000s (so far): Social Sciences and History, Business, Education,
Psychology, and Visual & Performing Arts.


Note that Biology and Engineering each made the list just once, but not
recently, and then only in fifth place. In 35 years, nothing else of a
scientific nature made the list at all.

Sad.
