This state-school grad with a B.A. in English begs to differ. I'm working in Pharma on the production side, mainly on the strength of my tech writing skills. Next step is management. The money's not bad at all, thank God.
Ahh tech writing. Good for you! I know someone who has that degree who has a pitiful job but maybe it’s just him.
One of my sisters has a degree in psychology and her husband has a PhD in Sociology and neither of them have ever worked in their field.
I never finished college - got married and we started a business that became extremely successful - but have to say I’ve lived to regret not finishing.
