This is a funny meme.. but in all seriousness, I could probably do what I’m doing now without my 4 year Music degree. And 20K in student loan dept that I paid off. Anyone else think college is overrated?
Technical degrees and apprenticeships are really where the money and job stability are right now, from what I can tell. Who doesn't need a plumber? An electrician? There's evene a tech school near where I live that offers a musical instrument repair certification. It may not sound like it's in demand, but there are a lot of musicians and it's a way to own your own business and make a good living.
My undergraduate degree in Product Design was pretty much worthless, but mostly because the economy tanked right after I graduated. The minor in Spanish led to some great jobs, though! I'm back for a MS in Spanish, now, and also working as a grad assistant. Tuition is waived, and I get a stipend!
But yeah. I know art majors who are working in big box stores and a fellow product design student who was mixing paint for a couple dollars above minimum wage.
Times was changed , you don't must to have good college degree to get a good job or to make some good money
I agree!
