user, when did you realise that higher education is a scam and most college degrees are worthless?

Third night in a row, eh bud?
I havent yet as I am still studying.
Writing the 1000th job application is tiring and I am frustrated tbh.

About three years and tens of thousands of dollars in...
I literally took a year long vacation, applied to 10ish jobs, and job the first one(starts at $65k). If you have experience it's probably your resume
My degree paid off. Don't get pissy just because you made poor choices.
It's my field. I got a PhD in a useless field.
You are right. Hindsight is 20/20 though.
When I used my masters to land a cushy high paying job for which I'm uniquely qualified. No, wait.
Damn.
bump
Ugly anyway.

I never did realize it, my degree opened doors and I use everything I learned. Sorry I couldn't be more 4chanish
What's your degree in?
cmon
roll
stop making this thread every day you fat friendless diabetic low income socially awkward outcast
u mad?
double major computer science and mathematics
Well shit, this is one of the few useful majors.
lol math is gay. you should have done CS and philosophy. at least that shows you use your right brain. you'll probably want a job in CS but... they'll be wary of a math dork. i'm about to finish CS with "operating systems" and philosophy with some boring shit about "quintessence" and "atomic" focus on elemental whatever the boring fuck. i'm going for the CS master's.
now, if i win the lottery, i'll get a philosophy master's, a psychology bachelor's, and go to film school.
Math and CS is a great combination actually.
It is since CS varies so much, CS can be really easy or really hard depending on what you focus on.
Graduated with a Bio degree and now earning 50k straight out of college.
Sorry if you got your stupid communications degree.
It all depends what you major. That when I learned when not all degrees are useless.
What dissertation?
OP here. I have a PhD in molecular biology. Now stuck in postdoc hell (Dana Farber, Boston) because there are no industry jobs.
computer science wtf u should be rolling in dough bad grades?
Easy mode, faggot.
Don't major in interpretive fly casting or Mongolian circle jerking. Go into a real major like compsci, engineering, chemistry. Shit that'll have you making bank and paying off that crippling student loan debt quick.
No. You’re gay. And stupid.
I agree about engineering and CS. But chemistry is almost as bad as biology.
What I found out is that jobs care more about experience in the job as compared to people who have education and little to no experience.
Which is my route of taking in advancing in my career. Start at a entry level and through years work my way up, instead of studying.
Makes sense. But that's too late for me. I'm considered overqualified for entry level positions. And PhD level positions want experience or special skills which I don't have.

Niche jobs, to be sure, in chemistry, probably depends on where you live, but there's a shitton of labs around me so it's viable here.
And as
said, don't fall into the trap of PhD before getting some real world experience to go with it, or you'll be both underqualified and overqualified at the same time.
too late for that
I'm getting a degree in Audio and Video production. Am I wasting my time, bros?
I have a degree and earn significantly more than you so....
Not hard. Because my degree sucks.
>that's my Alma Mater, btw
...thinking all degrees are the same...
They are not. There are good degrees (CS, engineering, medicine) and lots of shit.

Before I was old enough to go, thankfully. Between 13 and 16. Make $95/hour WFH in a cheap state as an application security architect now.
>When did you realise most college degrees are worthless?
Senior year of highschool.
Unless you know exactly what you want to do right away, or are ok with sticking with a high paying major that you may not even like, it is a waste of time/money. Most people change majors too many times to make it worth it anyways.
I became a carpenter with a steady income through training and I am now training to be an Air Traffic Controller, no university required.
