    >music B.A.
    I've actually managed to confidence my way into a bunch of unrelated jobs with this degree
    however it makes me negative money in the field so I think it qualifies as useless.

      What kind of jobs? Have any of them required a degree? (subject unrelated, ofc)

        humanities
        chef, curator, etc. anything where I can convince the hiring manager I know about beauty. I use the music degree and try to translate it to beauty / aesthetics. I've managed to secure a combination and flowers right now as long as I don't fuck it all up retardedly

    Econ MSc? That should be a marketable degree or is the bank downsizing fucking your market?

      Bachelor's in economics. I can't get into any master's programs since I didn't take calculus in undergrad (and I don't want to risk getting into debt for more school)

        ouch. Econometrics is everything now and you really need a graduate degree for anything in econland.

          I got in A in econometrics, but since I didn't take Calculus 1, I can't apply to graduate econ programs. (Yes, I understand how little sense that makes)

            Can you take calc courses at a community college? That would be cheap and might tick the box for a grad program.

              Yeah, but I would have to commit to more school, and I don't think I can do that when I can't even get a friggin financial analyst position right now.

        i feel you, out of everything in software engineering, math was the hardest thing for me because I never really applied myself before especially in hs, so when my peers had the base of math (most of it) and I didn't, I was really behind, but like anything it's logic and you apply yourself you will start to understand it more

          Just means you have less debt. I'm lucky that I paid for most of my tuition in cash, but I've still got 12.5k in student loans.

        they are always are. This time of year is a bit slow, but I never had trouble getting a job lol, maybe hard to find one with your fav stack if it's really niche but you usually can find something relatively fast, especially if you're an engineer and not a simple code monkey

    Wondering if mine is worth getting. I'm 23 and I have about 1.8 years of college done. I'm still working at it but sometimes it seems like there are more downsides than upsides. Please can someone tell me right now is it worth having a degree?

        Yes I agree with you you're probably right. So what is the better alternative? Get skilled at another job? Ideally I would be NEET with no job because fuck capitalism but you have to have a job to live at least I want to do something I enjoy. My parents are paying for my college (thank God no debt) so it's gonna hard to convince them of this. They'll probably just remain in denial about it. Retarded boomers.
