Co-sign everything you said. Dudes saying his degrees are worthless, but are totally off base. My Dad always preached that I should choose the career I want because doing a job you hate everyday will make your life miserable. I chose to major in Radio, TV, Film. Now, most people would on here would say my degree is "worthless" but I work in radio in a top 5 media market. It is what you make of your degree. I might not be making as much as my engineering friends right out of school, but I guarantee I enjoy my life alot more.Originally Posted by krazy88s

Agreed. Its always the same 3,4 kids every damn job or college thread saying you must major in engineering or become a doctor. And if didnt then better off dead or something to that effect. I majored in one those 'well-to-do' majors and hated every minute of it. I hated the classes, the people, the industry, the internships. So I switched into something else and kinda liked it.
Bottom line is dont let others especially those on NT deter you. Also unemployment is affecting everyone. Keep in mind that there are 09 grads, as well as '99 grads and '89 grads out of work.

Whatever man, I got my masters right after undergrad and I'm doing straight. I know cats that did the same and came out making $85K or more.
You just gotta hustle and know what company too holler at. You can't be too big to do some contract work to get in the game either.

What kind of potential career should an education like that lead to?Originally Posted by oO ThE RoC Oo

U should definately look into some government jobs... There's a lot of agencies out there that need architects, the ones that deal with construction...
Also, look into some construction companies that may need architects, etc...
But hang in there in good luck in the meanwhile...

I go to UCLA business school and my classmates and I are being spoonfed with internships/offers
I think the most important factor of college is GPA. Majors do not matter as much as the grades. Am i wrong?
4.0 in philosophy is bound to impress somebody. A 4.0 philosophy is going to a good Ph. D program.
MBA DOES NOT EQUAL SUCCESS
The most important thing is your school. Employers will be more impressed with a 4.0 in philosophy from Princeton than a 3.0 in accounting from a state school. They'll also be more impressed with a 3.0 in Electrical Engineering from Berkeley or MIT than a 4.0 in Electrical Engineering at a school they've never heard of. Also, MBA's do equal success...if they're from Harvard or Stanford. You're set for life with one of those. MBA's from random schools, not so much. I know from experience that many big-time employers in business/law only interview people from certain schools. It's not an elitist thing, it's an information asymmetry problem. Way more often than not, people from top schools are better employees. How else do you think people who major in Asian Studies at Harvard land elite venture capital or investment banking jobs? Get an Ivy League on your resume and you'll get to cut in line. You will get an interview even if you don't have the connections. So go get that 800 GMAT or 180 LSAT and start over. And high school kids, take that SAT and those extra-curriculars very seriously.

I know people that went to UofT's and York's business school both ranked 1 and 2 world wide with no jobs
MBAs are a dime a dozen, u will see once u finish school
I certainly have no say in telling a person what they can't or cannot do, but you definitely do not strike at a man's decision for further education on something he loves. As I skimmed through his job experience, I would say he's trying to put himself out there, but things might not be panning out at the moment. If things are going well for you, good for you, and if you have nothing good to say then stay out of this thread. The OP started this thread just to get a different perspective and hear about other experiences.Originally Posted by JediMaster23
You failed @ life for trying, next time CHECK THE JOB MARKET BEFORE CHOOSING A MAJOR. Just because you have alot of knowledge about something doesn't me your cut out 4 it.
That's why coaches coach and players play. How often do you see a demand for the dumb major you got a masters in? If you went to school 8 years and haven't found a decent job all that time shouldn't that have tell you something.
Go get a trade in Welding or Truck Driving and call it a lifetime
