Non-STEM majors are not the problem, the problem is thinking your major directly leads to a job in that field, when post-graduate jobs often come from internships, letters of recommendation from professors, and alumni networks. A political science major who interns for a Congress member, is in student government, and has a club leadership position where they network with alumni will have better post-graduate employment prospects than an engineering or CS major with no experience.

[@commonsense126]

Few companies expect new graduate CS majors to have any experience. They hire them anyways.

[@marcmeinzer8859]

When did people, in their great innocence, start thinking that college was trade school? But in any event, no matter what college really is, it’s stupid to go if it costs so much you need to take out loans. Duh! Were I to start over again I would either enlist in the navy as a cook to qualify as a chief cook in the merchant marine where you get to cheat outrageously on your overtime pay, or else simply join the laborer’s union to learn how to lay concrete. Then buy a used pickup truck and start my own crew. With most degreed jobs you get stuck working in an office or a classroom. No thanks. But my degree is not worthless for the simple reason that it cost me nothing, since back in the ‘70s state schools were so cheap your parents could pick up the bill if they both worked. I’d rather be highly literate than not. And yes, I actually did the assigned reading.

I wish I would have pursued music further before switching but I can afford to pay the bills. I think it's all a trade-off, there is no perfect job The root is to not have unrealistic expectations.

I attended college in the 1970s. I graduated with Bachelor's Degrees in History & Sociology. There were very few jobs in those fields even then. Those who majored in Liberal Arts/Social Sciences had to take jobs which didn't use their degrees. There were some who got MBAs to get decent jobs. Even in the 1970s, a Liberal Arts & other soft degrees didn't cut it unless one elected to get advanced degrees i.e. Masters & Doctorate. The in demand majors in the 1970s were business, medical, & other hard science degrees. My late mother stated that if one didn't have a speciality, it would be difficult to get a job commensurate with one's education.

[@mikenixon2401]

Don't feel bad. I, also a creature of 1970s educational propaganda, quickly learned upon graduation that all the "you can do anything with this" factories were all closed. So I talked a local news magazine managing editor to let me start in the print shop (yep still melting led and cleaning in off type), then learned real film photography. I was so thrilled when I got called into the boss' office to receive a story assignment. From there I had a great print and broad cast career, that included travel and experiences most people will never have ... until modern computer technology and younger fresh journalism school grads that cut and pasted their stories from the Internet retired me. Well, I know what real work was like. I'd be willing to bet, these young punks could never do what we in each of our ultimate trades have done. BTW, I also paid off my student loans all by myself.

[@GoodOleZack]

One of the main reasons as to why I switched majors. My intellect was not valued in acting classes and by filmmakers, so I majored in business analytics where it is. With a film degree I got berated, mocked, ridiculed, figuratively spat on, feminized, patronized, and left behind so many times in the film industry for being autistic. I found more mean women in film/art majors than I did in the STEM degrees. People like us who are nobodies don't really make it far in this film game. Really, the only way to get success from film school is being a cool hipster or a liberal propagandist or being "alpha" popular. Intelligence never gets valued. If I had a penny for the amount of crap I get by people in that field, I'd be a millionaire. I'm so glad I'm in a major now where the classes are more quiet, more people are willing to say hello to me from these classes than the art classes, education is more valued, more honesty, I don't hear goofy liberal things that get easily praised there, less survival of the fittest, there are literally less snobby rich kids who are elitists that I used to deal with now, less drama, less college professors who are smart allecks, less college professors who are emotionless to passion, less of parental and education drama, less of a requirement on social skills, less of favoritism, less of a need to be remembered by classmates, less IQ showboating, less unfriendly graduates, more mature older students; I don't have to worry about my boss being a bully; and there are career-prospective people there instead of frat party people there. To be clear too there are hardly if none at all autistic people in film majors too, as most of them are left out completely for not being popular or sociable. Putting on a clown outfit in school is like going to film school in a way. This degree makes me feel proud knowing I can get a job in this field given my education as my father and several other people are willing to hire me for it. For qualified skills from college rather than talking me way into and out of things. I feel more secure being alone from being a data analyst now because of this new major compared to being completely alone because of the film major. I feel like an actual human being in business analytics compared to a circus animal with film. I finally get a chance to have a last laugh instead of settling on being some freak people laugh at for cleaning fast food bathrooms all day. I finally may have a chance to be as successful as my older brother who bullied and made fun of me my entire life. I finally get a chance to be taken seriously! I get a chance to say no longer am I stuck in ironic hipster millenial gen z hell, and now I get a career. I get to start working directly after college not get told, "well Zach looks like you need to learn more." Thank you Business Analytics for giving me an opportunity TO LIVE instead of leaving me to welfare checks, or worse be dead from homelessness in the dystopian future of America. Unlike film that leads me to finding food from dumpsters being a bum that people could laugh at as, "oh he was always a loser he deserved it.". Best part too about being a business analytics major is that you are less likely to be around negativity or associated with it.

One thing to consider about the “down sides” of liberal arts degrees is the fact of pursuing masters of PHD degrees. When you go for a 2nd or 3rd degree your pay will increase.

Can you do a video about managerial science degree

[@mikenixon2401]

Where were you 55 years ago? You are correct. I "earned" the degree and was basically tricked into debt (I thought it was required), but I truly learned my trade with 48 years of doing it. Today -- except for medicine and other sciences -- I advocate a return to the practices of apprentice to journeyman to master tradesman.

Based on what you're saying during 6&5, do you agree with the saying that "30% of what you learn in college is in the classroom?" I've always thought about this saying but am still on the fence if there's any truth to it. Also, if you could do a video deep dive into some college's unique majors, I'd love to suggest mine, since I think my university is the only one in the country that offers my degree.

I studied a 2 year associate diploma in yoga.. Not to get a job but for my own personal interest. It is a philosophy that has been very useful in my life. Now, I'm studying theology. Again, for my own personal interest. My main education was in accounting. But, I gave it up to have a family. I use all my education to homeschool our 15 year old son. I love being a teacher. It comes in second to being a lifelong student. I also got all of my degrees outside of the college/university environment. There are plenty of ways to do this. I paid cash and never acquired any debts.

Am retired individual, did 22 years in Navy, got to do a bunch of fun things but saw that it was time to move along. Retired and then went to Tech School, and got into electrical/electronics. Got paid to play from then on. Last year of full employment was over $135k, there is money if you have your shit together and can do things. I loved the challenges you faced daily, you didn't know what you were walking into when you went to the shop. A fellow high school friend went to college, when I went Navy, she got a BA in Spanish and English. Haven't seen her in 50 years, but know some of her relatives, let me put it to this way, her adult life SUCKED and now her husband has passed on and she can struggle by, that is if her kids help her.

On paper sounds very sound, but. Was stationed in Spain for 4 years and everyone that spoke North American Spanish said that it was the Difference of Italian to Spanish. You could stumble over some of it, but for the most part, it was a different language. Actually, I grasped more true Spanish from speaking Italian than from friends stationed with me who spoke Spanish, the Americas style. Had a relative who had a BA in Spanish, she went to Spain and had no issues, then she went to Brazil and said it was practically impossible to understand.

As a guy with a B.A. in psychology (and Philosophy) it's pretty worthless at getting you a decent job. It's useful to develop psychology related skills like persuasion, sales, and active listening. But I only had one psych class that I still find useful and that was the counseling lab class where we practiced being therapists and actually learned the hard skill that is active listening. But my suggestion to you is to learn a real skill that people need enough to pay somebody to do. Then once you have a skill you can self teach yourself psychology. I was a security guard making like $14 an hour until I took a coding bootcamp and once I had a real skill I more than quadrupled my pay and got a lot of life security because I know I can find another job fairly easily. The skill can be anything that solves a problem for other people/businesses, but a liberal arts degree alone is worthless. You need to pair the liberal arts studies and soft skills with something people actually need.

With the college degree I got, even though I don't hold any college debt (which my grandparents paid for most of it) I do feel it was a waste of 18 years of my life working in the field that is/was in line with what I studied for my career path as I worked multiple, PT, miserable jobs for longer than I should have. The red flags were probably all right in front of me as those who I worked for failed to see my worth. But at least where I'm working now my value is seen more. It's more/less relevant to a college degree, however I could've saved a lot of time by having a job like this directly which only would require a HS degree.

I teach computer science at a small liberal arts university. Sadly, I believe well over half of the classes you must take for the CS degree have little value outside of keeping professors employed and most of the rest can be learned online for free or nearly so. Even some of the computer science courses are largely irrelevant for most programming jobs.

[@amistrophy]

Yeah bc its a CS degree, not a fucking coding bootcamp. its computer SCIENCE what did you expect? Literally a subfield of mathematics. We're seeing SE degrees and coding certificates coming around, but CS grads are supposedly uniquely better in these positions due to their grasp on theory and quantitative problem solving.

[@rufusmcgee4383]

@@amistrophy Somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed apparently because you are arguing a non-sequitur. This is all about employability. As an employer looking for a database developer to start today am I going to be more interested in the guy who spent the past four years studying medieval philosophy, art history and African economics, who can draw an ER diagram and write a bubble sort in MIPS assembly but doesn't know how to write a sophisticated SQL query OR would I rather have the guy who spent the last 4 years building applications and web services using Oracle, Terradata or SQL Server. Whether a CS grad is "uniquely better" depends on a lot of factors that have may little to do with "theory" and/or quantitative problem-solving (which is just a euphemism for canned homework assignments that may or may not have anything to do with real-world problems) No, it's not a "bootcamp" but a lot of it is an expensive waste of time and money, even some of the CS classes. Don't get me started on the general ed, but rather than spending semesters learning how a job scheduler or ALU transmission line works or do floating-point operations or calculate big-oh runtimes by hand, I would rather spend the time showing students how to build enterprise-wide applications, websites and databases because that's. what. they. will. be. asked. to. do.

Don't depend upon your degree as a subsitiute for experience. When I went to college for Bus. Adm. my option was infomation systems. Before my Jr. year I found an intership in computer operations. So when I graduated I had 2 1/2 years experience and a degree. Also while working it paid my way through my last 2 1/2 years.

[@covercalls88]

@pandaangry1267 This was years ago, it took a bit of effort and the pay started minimum wage. My sons graduated in 2012 and 2016 respectively and both of them found intern jobs in their fields. Wasn't easy and once again starting minimum wage.

[@covercalls88]

@pandaangry1267 $39 an hour is great. Sounds promising, but don't stop looking for other internships. As this might be a very competitive position. You might be going against people working on their PHDs. The economy is not doing well and getting worse as funding can be pulled. Good luck.

The most important lesson I learned about business degrees is, don't get one until your boss says you need one.

There are two rules to keep in mind when considering college: 1. If the major consists of any kind of art or derivatives (design, performance) is not worth it. Those skills are learned by practice and can be acquired on parallel while pursing a degree with a decent job market. Case in point, Brian May: was the guitarrist and composer for one of the most famous bands in history (Queen) and he learned music _on the side_ while on college he studied astro-physics. Yeah at the end he made it big but doesn't change the fact that he played it _safe_ by pursuing a STEM degree. Also the only criteria for jobs in that market is having a strong portfolio/demo reel. No one cares about degrees. 2. Gender studies is always off the table, not only is has a non-existent job market but even if your CV catches an employer eye and they read you studied that scam, you get auto-discarded. All they see is some soyjack waiting to sue the company for whatever stupid reason.
