Why are you getting an MA in political science if the BA failed you?

Actually it's an MS. I was hoping to be an adjunct professor for a few years and then possibly go back to college for a PhD and become tenured.

Technically, yes and no.

I have a diploma and work in my field, however, my hours are varied and sometimes I get very few per week. I am going back for my bachelor in the fall though, so I am not certain if I am 'underemployed.'

I had to interview a bunch of people for entry level jobs last week. More than one currently worked at Panera and had a BA. I'm starting to think that Panera purposefully recruits them.

I find it odd that society tells us that you dont need a college degree to make it, but they also tell us that we will starve with a non-STEM degree such as poli sci

You'll only starve because of the tens of thousands of student debt you sunk yourself into, not to mention the opportunity cost of going to school instead of working at the same wage you would be making after graduation.

It's actually not the same wage, you get payed slightly more with a degree if it's relevant to the field you're in, but the pay is like maybe 2-4 dollars more per hour, and most serious jobs are performance based or they pay you a salary but overload you with work. Being an employee in every sense is a suckers move, you eventually become an NPC and your employer really could care less about you. I'm currently disabled, and even though I only make a fraction of what I'd make at a regular job I still prefer the stable pay and sit on my butt at home than working for an employer where I'll be lucky to last 2 years without getting just as bored with the job as being at home watching Netflix all day or whatever I currently do.

I have a BA in philosophy and work in an unrelated field (IT). My first job after graduation was data entry.


Not a bad move. To be honest and I know I am going to take a lot of crap for this but I work at Panera because they don't drug test.

My first job out of college was door to door sales but I quit after a day where I worked 11 hours and made literally zero dollars. Then I worked at Amazon for a few months, worked at a grocery store for honestly almost half a year, took a job where I took care of disabled people for maybe two months, and then I've been working at Panera since June of last year.

Got my MA in English Writing Studies in the spring.

I'm still job hunting, looking for a copywriter or maybe editing job. Last thing I wanna do is teach. Also have some experience in video production so I've received a few offers on that too
