Got my degree in western towel washing with a minor in advanced breathing. Cant seem to find a job though

[iStorm-myfp]

College is a business, wake up people

[hamsterama]

At a university in my state (Bowling Green State University in Ohio), you can major in Pop Culture. I wish I was joking, but I am not.

[kulpoo]

I'm currently 900 thousand dollars in debt ever since I got my degree in Advanced Blinking. No jobs in my field...

[larryduran]

I'm a philosophy major that makes a lot of money. I used my philosophy major to get into law school.

[lakeperch]

In college I majored in "Finding a Parking Spot Studies." This is a valuable skill in downtown Nashville. I'm still working out the details on how to market this skill.

[Adam-bqvw]

he never mentions which degrees are worthless, and which aren't.

[bryan_witha_whyy]

Any degree can be worthless if it's not paired with focus and determination. There are millions of degree holders that don't understand the human condition, and that is what sets most people back in the pursuit of career excellence.

[joshuacox]

What irritates me about modern day. If you do not have a college degree. You are label as stupid and unsuccessful.

[UncleFeedle]

Acquire SKILLS, not pieces of paper. If your degree does not provide you with the skills and knowledge demanded by the society in which you live, you may as well not have that degree.

[xslayr]

No degree cannot compare to the most useless degree of all.. my school (University of Arizona) offers a degree in hip-hop.. I wish I was joking.

[iceviking]

As a young male getting my Nursing degree was the best thing I ever did. I make good money. I get to help people. I can support my wife and myself while owning two cars and have enough for us to have fun every month and put into our savings. Nursing is where it’s at.

[nightrider]

I tell people jusy because youre interested in something doesnt mean it will pay the bills

[pinktruffles]

Going to college or university takes patience, discipline, growth and maturity. That’s if you really put in the work and have a passion for what you do. I have a lot of respect for people that went to college/ university because to me it shows responsibility and discipline, irrespective of what their degree is of course.

[buffymcmuffin]

hate when students get useless degrees and whine about having to pay back student loans.

[kabukisyneri]

I have a degree in an area of computer engineering and I still can't find a job. I need 5 years experience they say. Companies are deluded with wanting a skilled worker handed to them on a silver plate.

[thedude]

Worked, received several scholarships, lived in cheapest dorm, then moved 20min away to a duplex with rent at $215/month, went to cheapest in state university, did 21 credit hours at a community college in one summer, did not have car payments or credit card payments and still needed fafsa loans. Thankfully I never needed any private loans. I love dave ramsey but, I just don't see how everyone can go to college debt free.

[emilyau]

If they really cared about the student's education, they wouldn't have filler classes that make them stay longer and pay more.

[azewo]

Just putting this out there.. I make 55k a year working in manufacturing plant. On top of that we get anywhere from %10-%20 bonus depending on output for the year. Also, the benefits are top notch and the 401k match is great too. Just wanna say it’s okay to get degrees but it’s also okay to work manufacturing, construction or warehouse jobs. I struggled because I thought I needed a degree when I was younger until I found this job and I love it.

[seanstates]

i think its more about the individual than the degree. my fiance got her degree in film, something i kind of thought was a bad joke, but now she landed a job straight out of school editing and compiling marketing videos for a company. a driven person will be able to make use of any degree
