My degrees were in Pure and Applied Science and Pharmacy. Chem, Math, Physics, Botany, Zoology, Physiology, and of course Geology and Pharmacy, were my daily diet at University. I always could obtain a well paying job.
The problem is our universities offer degrees that are worthless in many cases. If you courses are tough you will find a job when you graduate.
My niece has a degree in “women’s studies.” Her job sucks. She is now enrolled in a Masters Program in Medical Administration with a business administration degree. She will get a good job.
Reality is a harsh master.
For several years at the unemployment office I taught job-seeking skills classes for welfare recipients. The ones we’d send to college I’d steer towards nursing home administration. An associates degree that pays real well pretty quickly.
Yes, in business/finance classes the herd thinned quickly when classes like statistics entered the picture; those looking for easy degrees switched majors. Simple supply & demand in terms of the value of a degree; if everyone could get one with little effort it won’t pay much...
Oh yeah, well I was on Dean’s List in college.
After my GPA went over 2.0, I got off it.
