A Bachelor's in Burger Flipping - Post your majors here [College degree thread]
We all know that you can't get much better than a job at Starbucks with most bachelor's degrees.
What sort of degree or major do you all have, and what's it done for you recently?
Right now I'm getting off the science treadmill, since I know that a bachelor's in biology isn't worth anything in the real world, and all that organic chemistry bullshit they put me through amounted to nothing outside the university doors.
Now, I'm on to PR and Communications, since I goddamn love to talk.
Oh, and I can get a job with it too.
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
That's pretty much all you do as a history undergrad. Read a shit ton of books, research a shit ton of primary sources, and write a shit ton of argumentative papers.
BA in Ancient History and Archaeology. Which would be great for jobs in the archaeological world if archaeolgy wasn't boring as bollocks.
WHich is why I'm off to get a teaching qualification.
majoring in Indiana Jones
Sadly, it's more like majoring in brushing dirt with a toothbrush.
And digging for hours in a field because the geophysics team found an interesting anomaly, painstakingly labelling each layer of soil you go through, only to find three days later that it's a fucking water pipe the farmer put in for irrigation. Fucking farmer. I'll teach him, and that son of his.

Why the fuck would you tell this to someone about to start a chemistry major?
I completed most of a major in sculpture before dumping the program and going into English. I'm never gonna get out of school.
I was an English major. I actually really enjoyed it. You can line up some pretty interesting jobs with it, if you get creative. Like, there's ways of explaining an English degree to apply it to marketing, development, public relations, etc.

So far, all it's done for me is introduced me to a lot of interesting people. Some of them awesome, some of them downright scary.
Minoring in: Asian Languages and Literature, and Latin
Basically if i wanna do something in my field, it's more school for me.

Forgot to put secondary in there. But it really shouldn't be that hard to figure out that I meant high school.

Hoping for a Ph.D. in Genetics eventually
Why the fuck would you tell this to someone about to start a chemistry major?
That was my plan, except man, a phD in any science is way too much work for too great a chance of having to take an unrelated job after graduation.

Until then, I work in a grocery store butcher shop. Woo.
I'm working on my Doctorate in Fuckawesome. But man.... the dissertation is rough.
my hope is the genetics field will really take off over the next decade or so. gene therapy is the wave of the future.
Then it's on to 20 years queueing outside the dole office.
