But business degrees are the worst.

Yes. I have a business degree. Useless.

i could rattle off a bunch of degrees that are useless that seem like a good idea. Criminal justice is good if you want to be a cop and be put in a higher pay grade. In Wisconsin you have to have an associates criminal justice level degree to become a cop at all.

But business degrees are the worst.

Any degree will get you a retail or resturant management position. Even some warehouse management positions. Doesn't even matter if its a photography degree apparently (i might be bitter about that one manager still, but hey...)

edit: wrong words

I would say Creative Writing degrees are the worst, but I'm biased.

I have six friends who took 3-6 years of aggressive job hunting to get a full time job with their business bachelors.

3 of them started a salary of 29k or less.

I'm going to agree with that statement. Business Administration degree here. A dime a dozen.

Ok, ok. I guess at least I can go back to teaching *shudder*

political science is the worse though, hands down tops them all

My kinesiology degree is pretty useless too unless I wanna go to grad school but I did that to myself, I guess.

What do you even do with that degree, other than being a real gas at parties?

I work with a handful of people with liberal arts degrees. I have no views on them despite the memes about them, but most of them regret their decision. I went to an online school for my bachelors and rushed through in just 5 months. It just checked a box for me, which was all I cared for.

I have an associate in human services, idk if it's useless or not because I haven't tried using it yet. lol. It did let me get into the bachelor's program of social work but I dropped out after a few semesters

Once I graduated and got out there I realized I had no experience in marketing or HR, etc. I went to an online school so there was no support there with the job search. In my town there was no such thing as internships. Ended up selling health insurance and making a lot of money about $60k per year but the job was so stressful that it was not worth it. Now I've been out of work so damn long that I can't get a sales job even if I wanted one!

And that's what I've got.

I have no degree because fuck school and debt. Apparently we all end up on mturk anyways so...

 

[savvy]

I will say I've employed 15 biology majors desperate for even part time work over the past 3 years. They're all 3-8 years out of college.

I suppose any degree is worthless/worthwhile depending on your drive, people skills, connections, and job market in your area. Another reason mine is worthless

Me and my Film Studies degree are happy to take up this mantle

An online university or a university that had online courses? You got a bachelors in 5 months!? How much work were you doing per day?

lol no kidding. I went to a private college and for my assoc. and a few semesters of social work I'm like...almost $30k in debt. fuuuuck.

And that's what I've got.

have you found that it's worthless? Real question, not being snarky. lol
