“There’s no guarantee you will receive a job after graduation but it always depends on your character and which degree you attain in the end. Now if your degree was in the norm of something idiotic and useless such as “Women’s Studies”, then you deserve to be unemployed.”

I know an F-15 Pilot who’s degree is in zoology. That said, there’s more than character that goes into it. It’s also who you know. “Networking” is a big thing in getting a job these days, which is going to pose as a problem for me when I leave the military next year. I’m not a sociable individual or one who has a lot of connections because I don’t like dealing with the drama and bullshit that people fill their lives with, usually over minor issues. I’m taking up a trade this time because my paper degree is worthless, I made that mistake and paid it off in Afghanistan. This time is will be a trade. As far as networking, I’ll be unemployed and in school for a while, so volunteering and church.

“Women’s Studies” is a resume stain.
