If the purpose of an education is to make you employable, then you should go to a trade school.
If the purpose of an education is to be educated, then get your degree in Poli Sci, and then go to work where ever you can find work and work your way up. If you’re smart and you work hard, you’ll be running the place eventually.
A Poli Sci degree is probably a great degree to have if you’re planning to enlist in the military. And a few years of military experience under your belt, along with your degree in Whatever, is probably good preparation for lots of stuff.
The problem isn’t the degree in Creative Writing. The problem is the idea that it guarantees you a job, and ought to guarantee you a job. Get your degree in Creative Writing, go to work selling shoes, and write. Get your degree in Art, go to work at the supermarket, and paint in your studio in the garage. If you’re good, someone will buy your screenplay, or your sculpture, and if they don’t, still, you did what you loved.
Well said.
