I have been looking at various jobs and I see employers saying..BA/BS OR equivalent experience. I am feeling the value of a college degree (unless it’s an MD or JD or MBA) is becoming lesser nowadays. Experience is key to landing excellent positions in the marketplace. How do you guys feel about this?

I read in some books and other websites that many people do not value college education in finding and holding a job. Can a person with a degree become self-employed and/or continuing education from home?

I am especially looking for answers from college grads. Do you think a Bachelors degree, for the most part, is useless as far as getting a better job and/or salary? What about a Masters Degree? I know people with Masters who can’t get a full-time job because there are so many more people out there now with PhD’s or Doctorates to compete with. Is this a new development, or has it been this way all along? What have your experiences been?

I was just curious how many peoples college degree is related to the career that they are working? They say only 30% of people use they’re degree once they graduate.
Also are you happy w/ your current job, and if you could go back, what would you study and do instead?

Crunch asked:


I was originally planning to go to a fairly small (not tiny) regional college and get a “photography” degree. However, I’ve been told that it would be better to get something else, just taking some photography electives and learning the business on the job. Is this true? And if so, what undergraduate degrees should I consider?
What I mean to ask is, is what kinds of degrees (other than a degree in photography) would best prepare me for a photo career beyond the technical skills? I’ve heard everything from Marketing to a general Liberal Arts degree.

Ramus M asked:


I want to go to college and get a degree in something, but I want to do something that will not require good social skills.
I like psychology, writing, philosophy, health, and I kinda like science.

What jobs require a college degree and a graduate degree? Also what subjects do you have to study and what kinds of schools offer the degree program required to enter this field? I’m working on a girl scout silver award project so this would really help! THANKS!!
