I have government jobs reaching out to me these days offering me less than what I make working from home as an entry level IT technician. Think about that for a moment. I interviewed for a government position which was temporary. I thought maybe a year or so. Nope, 3 months.

One I always found funny was this job at a go kart track for secretary. You needed a 3 year office administration degree and 3 years of experience for 17/h CAD, which equates to 12.30 USD.

I work for the government and they pay me less than a private sector would but government benefits are like 5x better than private sector benefits.

Gaming is a weird industry where you can scam the consumers with lies and fake promises, and there will still be fanboys defending it.

Probably stuff like art, philosophy, gender studies, music, fashion design, dance, theater, stuff like that >_>

idk if communications is useless but I hear that's like the default degree when you just want to party lol

Im sure he can find a well paying job with his masters degree.

It would be pretty stupid to go after a degree without scouting the field ahead of time to make sure there are jobs that will pay the thing off.

philosophy

Philosophy majors apparently tend to outearn business majors in the long term.

Their ability to problem solve and think in different ways is invaluable to some buildinesses.

Because we all know how stable and predictable the market and world is right?

And how AMAZING the prior generations were at preparing us?
