Who /worthless degree/ here?

There's no such thing as a worthless degree, unless it's an associates or something equally pitiful.

Most jobs in the modern world just require a B.S. or B.A. in anything so that you can get your foot in the door.

It feels bad that I'm 28 and never went to college yet.

degrees are just pointless goals. kicking the ball down the road until you have to face that you will eventually come to a day where you have no option but to do something repetitive for the rest of your days, at a very VERY questionable benefit

>needing a degree

I taught myself html/css and javascript/jquery in 3 months and got a web dev job starting at $60k and a few websites that get me an extra $2k a month, and UFC betting which averages me $1.5k a month. That $60k from my full time job is more than it seems when you consider I live in a low cost of living small city in Ohio. Most people with any programming skill end up wanting to go to some other state like commiefornie or washington, leaving a lot of jobs open in states like mine.

associates aren't worth shit anyway, basically the same level as a high school diploma unless you did a program with placement after associates.

>>25858593
Associates can be actually useful if specialized, like bachelors and masters.

Basically Generalized<Concentration.

You can also get a generalized degree and prop it up with minors and certification.

>>25859585

No, being good at graphic design pays well. Try to get in with an advertising agency or some other TEMPLE OF CAPITALISM and you'll be okay. Just make sure you're really fucking good. I noticed you're using an image board instead of getting really fucking good. You should do something about that.

Be aggressive about finding a good job. Always be social and go to meetups and stuff. Change positions every couple of years because employers forgot what the words "raise for experience + inflation" means. Build a good portfolio.

Ultimately it was for the best. If the price for all the scientific advancements and various other things which owe themselves to the camera is a couple of sad fucks like me, then I guess it's worth it.

Some people are telling me I need a Business degree to get anywhere. I've already got a degree in English and Communications, plus job experience in writing, web development, etc. Do I need to /biz/ to get out of bottom-of-the-barrel freelance stuff?

>>25860194
You can literally just lie about having a business degree. They're so come and go that you can just whipe your ass with them and nobody will care, but saying you have it gives you hiring points.

Just put it on your resume

Studied communications.

I wanted to do IT but my parents disallowed me saying they wouldn't pay my tuition because I would be in school too long (I transferred from a shit-tier small state school to a B1G school.)

Now, the only real skill I have is traffic operations at a TV station. The pay is crap, never goes up unless you work at one place for 20+ years and you're the only one who worked there for that period of time. These jobs make you work 50-60 hours a week minimum, and are often from like 10-10 or 10-11 daily.

I applied for marketing jobs with the experience I have, I either never get a call, or get a rejection email a few days after I apply.

On top of this, I hate this stuff. The only jobs are in the city, and it's such a long, tiring commute (2 hours). I don't make enough to live in the city, even with 4 roommates.

If I had some IT job, I would be able to have a shorter commute or move somewhere affordable because there are jobs.

on top of that i have to wake up early to go to work so i can't even go out at nights to meet girls. haven't met a girl in over a year.

It's ok if you can get some internship experience. You probably will need to go for a master's at some point

So pretty much out of the hundreds of programs that a university offers, most of them will lead you nowhere. Don't even get me started on Anthropology, Psych, Sociology, History, Marketing, Literature, African Studies.

The degrees that will lead to a job still don't have an amazing earning potential and you still need to network to find a job. Once you get some job experience you'll do ok, the trouble is in getting your first job.

All of you saying your major is useless:

Apply for an entry level IT job, like helpdesk or tech support. Just add in your resume how you are a natural with computers, your friends always go to you for tech advice, etc.

Everyone at the company I work at has random ass majors. History, philosophy, you name it. I'm an English major. Started there a few months ago making $12/hr, now I'm making $15 and the next raise will be a salaried position.

Just go to indeed.com and apply to every IT helpdesk or tech support job in your area.

I saw ones like that too anon. I applied to one saying I needed experience in the field or relevant education---and I still got the job. Just rearrange your resume so that your "skills" are at the top, and highlight your tech skills there first. If you have a college degree and you can sound computer smart in your resume, you can get an IT job.

Also, lots of companies will automatically toss out resumes that don't have certain words in them. Look at the job application, and make sure the most important words from that application are also in your resume, or their robot will toss it.

Seriously what are some people supposed to do when jews make offers like this?

Only reason I did it was because the college offered those majors the chance to set up a business directly at its main campus with assistance. Had a whole section for it and everything. Winded up becoming a self employed business owner by the end of my final year, and now I make a living getting to sit around twice a week making apps with friends, and doing anything else in between.

I like history a lot, but I think it'd be a bad idea to major in that subject. I also like reading I guess. None of these are particularly good subjects to major in

I do decent in comp sci classes I've taken (took a few intro classes here) and took two classes on hardware repair and shit in high school. I could probably get a 2yr degree at a local community college, because there's no way i can compete with chinks and curries here.

Although ultimately, as an anon mentioned earlier, ANY degree can be a meme degree. Depends on where you are, who you are, and how lucky you are.

>4.5 years into a 5 year degree
>Heavily considering dropping out after all this time because I am fed up with the bullshit and I don't think I can go on like this anymore

I want to do it but I am too afraid of the immediate consequences of massive loan repayment and the silent disappointment and being seen as a failure from my family.

I dont even know what to do, but continuing things as they are with how I feel now and my outlook/mental state, I am afraid I will spiral even further down.

What the fuck do I do.

If your already that far in, just finish it. The worst thing you could do is drop out, you will literally become unhirable since every employer will see you as unreliable.
Unless you lie on your resume, but why do that when your so close?

My mom has a sociology degree and makes 30k a year, which, as an 18 year old, is cucking my life

>>25877885

Depression making it neigh impossible to be motivated to get any work done with the massive workload required of me, and anxiety makes making connections fucking difficult as shit. Not to mention I entered college by expectation, not by want, and now it feels that I don't truely want to what I have been doing for 4.5 years after the fact.

If I have to force myself to do any more of this I just feel I will only get more and more unmotivated and head towards emotional rock bottom.

Whats the degree that the work is so hard?

Do you have any idea what you want to do? You can always just complete your major and go do that.

An engineering degree is all I will say, but constant worry over big projects, multiple large homework assignments and anxiety for tests and grades and everything.

The biggest thing is that in this major, it is expected of you to get an internship in your 3rd or 4th year, which I didnt get, and you need that internship(s) for thesis and to get any headway in the field at all, otherwise things are exponentially more difficult to do. And my resume only hase the one summer job I ever held on it. Thats it. And the rest of the super-short resume is kissing ass and trying to glorify my highschool education.

I just want to find a comfort zone in working and living until I can get my life and myself in order, because academic life is draining me. Then maybe (hopefully) I can go back and finish the degree if I so choose if I dont find something else after some time spent soul-mending.

With a degree like engineering, I would think you would be fine. But then I have little knowledge of engineering outside of STEM memes. That and my dad who tried it for like 1 semester, then gave up.

Its ultimately your choice, but being so far in it really seems like a bad idea.

Guys I want to go get an associates in Music.

I really love music and have some degree of talent, would you guys advise? Preferably someone who's taken a similar course?

>>25878607
Why the fuck do you even need a degree in music? Thats entirely talent based. I see no reason to spend anything on a degree when you could just practice on your own. Or pay significantly less for private lessons.

>>25878318
Maybe you'll land a job at a movie set. Just apply bro.

>>25878703
The course offered at the school I want to go too offers a dual course in "Music Management" such as how to promote yourself, merchandising that kind of shit.

On the flipside it also teaches "Music Production" which, of course, is the synthesis of music in a studio. This teaches Mixing/Mastering, using DAWs, and even music lessons included with the course of my choice.

Anything but exploratory geology for petroleum or oil pays like shit.

>>25878813
you'll be fine
cyber security is a safe bet in the job market the only bad thing is you're only noticed in your job if you fuck up

>>25860537
Put a bullet straight through your head right now before the pain gets any worse.
>>25878813
You won't start in cybersecurity/infosec. You'll need experience in network admin. or something related for a few years.

I graduated with an English degree 4 years ago and make about 85k now, which isn't too shabby for where I live. Granted, my job has literally nothing to do with my degree, but most of the people from my program I keep in touch with are doing pretty well, too.

Getting a non-specialized degree just means you have to look harder, since you probably aren't going to get relevant internships or be headhunted. Can't recommend this route if you are shit with people though.

Liberal arts degree. Am grill. Will survive.

what use is a liberal arts degree? don't people usually get a lib arts degree at a community college, but then go to a 4 year school to get a real degree?

a liberal arts degree is great to give you a head start on a more serious degree, but nothing on its own.
