British Hope University in Liverpool offers its students a degree in The Beatles, Pop Music and Society. Graduates of this specialty will become the most certified Beatles scholars, as well as specialists in the field of the influence of popular music on society over the past 50 years. The tuition fee per semester is 4800 British pounds.

2. Specialist in the cultivation of hemp (marijuana).

You can get training in this specialty in sunny California, and this is not surprising, since this state was the first to legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Therefore, growing marijuana has now become a very profitable business. According to experts, this year alone, the volume of legal marijuana sales could reach $3 billion. I would like to note that the founders of the university, where you can get an education in this specialty, have a very good sense of humor: they called it Oaksterdam University (from the name of the city in which it is located - Oakland and Amsterdam - known to all for its coffeeshops, where you can freely smoke weed). Tuition per semester is $800.

3. Packing Specialist.

Michigan State University offers its students a bachelor's, master's, or even a doctorate in packaging science. Students of this specialty will study not only modern packaging technologies, but also work on improving their functionality and environmental friendliness. This profession seems to have a future.

4. Hippodrome manager.

This specialty is suitable for lovers of horses and racing. And the University of Arizona offers education on it. According to the dean of this faculty, 80% of graduates who receive a degree in racetrack management immediately after graduation find work in their industry.

5. Amusement park engineer.

This very narrow specialty can be obtained at the University of California (California State University). Here, future engineers learn the basics of designing and building various attractions: carousels, roller coasters and ferris wheels. Tuition per semester costs a considerable amount - 1892 dollars.

6. Decision maker.

This specialty at Indiana University is not at all for those who have problems with making decisions. We are talking about specialists who will help entrepreneurs and top managers make important business decisions using mathematical models for predicting the development of the situation and other analytical methods developed on the basis of research data.

7. Auctioneer. In the photo: auction at the Berliner Ensemble theater.

In order to become an auctioneer - a person who conducts auctions, you need the appropriate knowledge. You can get an education as an auctioneer at Harrisburg Area City College. Students will be taught how to select items for auctions, how to evaluate them and, of course, how to conduct auctions. Are there special classes on how to use a hammer? Unfortunately, we do not know this.

8. Stadium turf specialist.

This is one of those specialties that most people do not even suspect exist, and perhaps never know. However, you can get an education in this specialty at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn State University). Students learn there, among other things, the basics of growing and caring for grassy areas in stadiums, as well as studying very difficult sciences such as biology, chemistry and meteorology.

9. Housewife or housekeeper.

Liberty University - the largest Christian university in the world - offers its students a bachelor's degree in home science. Those. upon graduation, graduates become certified housewives and homemakers. The Virginia-based university promises to teach its students "the values, knowledge, and skills needed to strengthen the modern family." Specialty classes include subjects such as work-family balance, home finance, and dietetics. A year of study in this specialty costs $20,300.

As it turned out, in Russia this specialty may be extraordinary, but not at all rare, since you can become a "housekeeper" in the 31st university of the country.
