New Candidate For The Most Useless Major Ever: Pizza Hut

by N/A, 10 years ago | 2 min read

College is a wonderful time in a person's life when they can experience their formative years while making equally frivolous and major life decisions on a rolling basis. Thanks to (meant sarcastically) Manchester Metropolitan University in London, those two decisions no longer have to remain independent of one another. Essentially, students of MMU can now willingly make a ridiculous decision that will shape their path in life thanks to (again, being sarcastic) a partnership with Pizza Hut.

Okay, let us back up: what we're saying is that students at this university can now major in 'Pizza Hut.' So, when they say they're hitting the books, they really mean the box. And when they say they've got a test coming up, they mean a hot pizza.

The course would go a little something like this, according to the Manchester Evening News, in that it will:

"equip [candidates] with skills for life, not just for working in a restaurant."

Hold on–students are going to be getting not only business advice from Pizza Hut, but wonderful life advice too? Pizza Hut is going to help usher in the next wave of successful leaders of the free world?

Really…Pizza Hut is going to do that? Pizza Hut, the same chain that created this monstrosity (that's pretzel-wrapped hot dogs as the crust of pizza just so you know)?

A business model that seems pretty simple for Pizza Hut to follow, make and deliver pizzas, and they messed that up pretty horribly with this thing they are passing off as pizza. Well, that's reassuring knowing that MMU has set up a five-year apprenticeship for 1500 students to major in 'Pizza Hut,' something which sounds equally as employable as majoring in 'English.' We imagine both graduates will end up working at a Pizza Hut near you!

Won't that be a proud day for those majoring in 'Pizza Hut' to present their diplomas? It'll probably go like this: "Do you have your diploma? I'd love to see it." *They then recreate the imagery of the below photo*

Nick Boles, a British skills minister, explained he thinks this will help boost business in England by giving students majoring in 'Pizza Hut' valuable, real-life work experience. Students, depending on their university level, will either study on campus or at an alternative new-wave classroom: a local Pizza Hut. Well, it's seems this funny educational update deserves to end on a pun, so I'll just say it:

"Graduates of the 'Pizza Hut' program can look forward to joining England's upper crust."
