This is granted I actually can get ahold of student loans to pay for college, as im broke and unemployed.
So my question to you all, what Degrees should a person get that can actually land them a decent paying and enjoyable job?
Reading about the people here who consider their degree's worthless, i don't want to fall into that trap.
It even happened to my sister, she got a BA degree in basically what she wanted to do, and the only jobs she's been able to get are minimum wage, like she didn't even goto college.
It looks like (if I can get student loans), Im going to be paying an arm and leg for college, I want to get a decent job when I get out, and have it be enjoyable....
I was looking Psychology (one of my interests), but there is basically jack **** for jobs when your done. And I've thought about Finance or Accounting, but I don't want to work in a call center for a retirement company or be stuck in a room as a bean counter..... I thought about Biology as well, but I know someone who graduated with a BS in Bio and could only find a $9 an hour job as a lab assistant.
Engineering seems to be a good choice...
Electrical
Mechanical
Chemical
Engineers all make the top starting pay, but I don't know I can do all the math.
Does anyone think being a Civil Engineer would be a good career path? Seems like it might be interesting to help design cities and towns. Again very math intense.
Are the majority of business degree crap?
Or are there any degree's that lead to highly enjoyable jobs?
Please post your thoughts....
