I graduated ~6 months ago into a job paying 45k a year, and my wife graduated 1.5 half ago with a similar job. Both of us had business degrees.

Right, but that's not an accurate conclusion that a business degree is useless. Maybe if you said "a business degree is useless for MOST people." Semantics, I know. Or had you chosen "women's studies" or "music." I'm sorry to all those with those degrees, but...REALLY? What kind of job do you think you can get with that? |

Quoting: AmericanJedi Learn a trade. [link to nces.ed.gov] You are so very correct. I do not understand why people spend time & money for a degree that does not provide a marketable skill. Liberal Arts, Women's Studies & the such are only good for those who do not have to work for a living. Very few of us fall into that category.
