Yeah, is anyone fairly knowledgeable about this? As a university student, I'm hearing a lot of foreboding talk about how more and more graduates are finding it hard to find jobs that relate to their degree. I just want to know if I'm completely wasting my time before I invest in another four years /:
Depends what field your studying. I know people who studied for degrees, couldn't find a job then took up a trade. Me I went to business school, got a accounting diploma. Tried for a degree but never finished. I really should have gotten a job and then just take courses as my job progresses. Currently working as a business analyst.
Im in English /: yes, go ahead and laugh, I'm used to it by now. I'm just in it cuz I need to take a different program before I can go into education. Like, recently I've seriously been considering leaving and going to a lower level college for something more practical.
I know for where I'm at in Houston, you either gotta go into the medical field or something involving a chemical plant. Other than that you're going to have a hard time using that degree. I'm moving as soon as I'm done.
My degree in Biology was just a necessary stepping stone to my medical degree. If you want to be a doctor, major in whatever is fun/makes you happy. Everyone has to take the pre-reqs anyway.
I'm a chemical engineer, so it was obviously worth it for me...but if I wasn't going into engineering I wouldnt have went to college I would have just worked at my dads mechanic shop and started my own business later...
