Are there any USEFUL degrees that require very little to NO math or science?

Or only basic science and nothing like anatomy/phys?

The degree must have a high job outlook.

Must not be IT, and must not be medical (requires a lot of math.. IV drips calculations, etc.) and must not be a teacher for a subject.

Example- English major and i only take english classes, then go teach english but that's ALL i can do.

EDIT- I CAN DO BASIC MATH AND BASIC EQUATIONS. UP TO GRADE 12 ALGEBRA. SOME PEOPLE ARE MISINTERPRETING THINKING I CAN LITERALLY DO ZERO MATHEMATICS AT ALL. I CAN ADD SUBTRACT AND DO BASIC ALGEBRA PERFECTLY FINE.

Most "useful" degrees are useful because they use Math in order to be useful, so excluding it kills a lot of possibilities. Still, there's a difference between needing to complete a math course to get the degree and needing to use that type of math regularly. You can do a lot of computer programming with just addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and basic algebra skills.

Options... Maybe a Communications Major or something with an emphasis on Marketing? I'm not sure how much biology is needed to become a personal trainer, I'm spacing the name of that degree though.

Don't go to college. You just don't have the mindset to succeed in the fields that will give you a degree with little or no math. The reason for that is those degrees on their own tend to be worthless.

Like many people have said, if you want to make good money without doing a lot of schooling, pick a trade. Our union techs charge nearly $90 an hour for their labor and you don't need any sort of fancy degree to do the stuff they do. Heck even my position of network engineer doesn't require 90% of the things I learned in getting my degree. If you start at the bottom (helpdesk, cable tech), advancement is always possible if you choose not to limit yourself to what your job description says. I know of a guy who is now the defacto head of IT security at a bank through a combination of him busting his ass off and getting lucky, and he has only a high school diploma.

All degrees are useful if you get them from a non-awful college and know some people.

Something related with liberal arts is probably your best bet. English, Comms, Marketing, more artistic stuff like Music, Contemporary Art, who knows

Electrician. I'm not the best at math, and that's why I went for it. I'm very happy I did. You can go for Commercial/Res Electrician, or Controls Electrician [me], or small circuits Electrician. Very fun if you enjoy puzzles and some hands-on work.

Unfortunately for you, in this increasingly technological world, math dominates a lot of markets.

Though you can get by in some jobs with basic Algebra 2 knowledge.

I would care more about the enjoyment of the career then rather or not it requires math in college.
