Abstract	Nearly 500 members of the public rated 20 university degree subjects in terms of their usefulness for employability. The top three were Law, Maths and English whereas the bottom three were Fine Art, Anthropology and Theology. A factor analysis was conducted to group the 20 subjects into broad academic fields. Five factors were identified, corresponding to the four fields of Art, Science, Language, Social science and a factor concerning the basic skills of English and Maths. A number of significant individual difference correlates involving demographic and personality variables were identified and discussed. (Contains 1 table.) (As Provided).
