I would tell you to take ANY white collar job to get a foot in the door, plan on working your way up. You don’t hear much about that anymore. Or...move someplace where you can have a life on $12 an hour. Someplace with $200,000 houses in safe neighborhoods. And just live a life. There’s a lot to be said for that—you don’t need to be rich to be happy, just have enough an a little extra. |

Inconveniently those majors tend to be the harder ones. . DON'T VAX, PROPHYLAX! ____________ There is no anger in Me: If one offers Me thorns and thistles, I will march to battle against him, And set all of them on fire. But if he holds fast to My refuge, He makes Me his friend; He makes Me his friend. (Isaiah 27:4-5) |

No way dude. If you didn't major in something stupid all you have to do is study for a CPA in accounting. Or get certified in a computer skill. with that degree and a skill you are gold. College is not magic. It puts you up in to the top 1/3rd of the country. But you are still in the pool and you have to aim for something and swim towards it. you can't float |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79232606 Iceland 01/23/2021 09:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went to a business college and I'll share a little story with you. It was 2007 I was pursuing an associates in IT and one of the required courses was Critical Thinking. The instructor was a wafe soi boy who smoked pole and attempted to "redefine" family structure and push his beliefs on the students. At first it wasn't obvious he had us watch a movie called 'Memento' which wasn't bad and kinda fit the "critical thinking" aspect of the class. It wasn't until he played 'Torchsong Trilogy' that his agenda became apparent. The movie was about a gay man his lover and a son he had "before he was gay". The assignment was basically a written opinion piece on how our concept of family had been changed by the movie. So I of course had no change in opinion. During our class discussion I (as well as most of my class) took the stance that yes family has changed but we did not consider the "Gay family" as a replacement as he suggested it was. Myself and several others received a lower grade than those who agreed with him. At the time I was maintaining a full time job working overnight at a ware house and a 3.8 GPA, so to say I was pissed about this "C" would be an understatement. The class and I attempted to resolve this with the teacher to no avail leaving no other recourse than taking our complaint to the administration. In less than 6 hours this individual was removed from their position and replaced before next class, this was also accompanied by a formal apology from the Dean. I'll never forget what Mr. W said in regards to the former instructor... he poked his head into the class looking at each of us and said, "guess the AIDS got'm huh?" Rest in peace Mr. W |

If I had to go back I would focus more on agriculture and horticulture. I like the study of ecology and took a PDC a couple of years back. Unfortunately it does not pay the bills. Maybe if I started earlier and bought enough land to homestead but I am afraid that will have to wait until I retire or they retire me. Achduke |

Very true. I wasted 4 yrs at a Liberal Arts college, too. Never used my degree. I would recommend learning a trade or coding or something like that, before ever going to college. Take the money you would have spent at school, and get a nice little house or travel before you settle down. College is not for everyone and that is o.k. |
