Getting a degree even one in liberal studies or creative writing opens more doors than not having any college degree at all.

M.C.BaileyAuthor :
I have a degree in Computer Science. Its useless now. The field and tech becomes obsolete so fast - anything more then a six month break - no one will hire u. Most entry lvl grads can’t get hired now thanks to AI. I got a new set of degrees - Writing & English. I turn down job offers a lot now. Content writer, copywriter, technical writer for software teams, political copywriter/editor, freelance editor. No one knows what the market will look like 10 yrs down the road.

the reason is simple engineering, finance, law, health, etc. RETURN SOMETHING TO SOCIETY, the rest are just hobbies that can be achive a master level with a 1 month course

We also cannot actually predict what will be marketable or useful in the future on the job market. Computer programming was considered the epitome of “useful” for a while and now ppl are saying those positions will be less available with AI (which is a whole other discourse within itself). What is considered “valuable” now is never a guarantee to be valuable once you get those credentials.

Education should not just be a job training. You can do it to make yourself a better person and the world a better place too

My degree is in creative writing and my minors were English, sociology, and gender studies. I did not study any of those things to achieve maximum earnings under capitalism

I got my undergrad and masters in creative writing and the whole time people tried to talk me out of it—the whole time I just said, I wanted the degree because I wanted to know more about creative writing

i think people forget that “useless” degrees can be very helpful. I am a Comparative Women’s studies major but i’m on the pre-med track to become an ob/gyn. It was very important to me that I not only have the credentials to help my patients but the knowledge of the systems they live under to help them holistically.

I used to be a philosophy major.. people felt so comfortable making fun of me and making jokes about what job I would get after college.

Meghan L. Dowling :
Side note: as someone who did a Master’s and Doctorate with specializations in creative writing, yes, I absolutely did need to go to those programs! It made me the writer and thinker I am today, and for those who only care about the labor market, it was necessary for that as well. I work in higher ed, but I do not, in fact, work in my discipline; my education in those specific degree programs, however, made me successful in my current role.

See, what BROKE my brain was hearing how jobs used to invest in their workers' educations. You were hired young and THEN got the appropriate education to move up within your company (unless you were aiming to be an academic). Now, we are expected to invest in ourselves with no guarantee of employment in line with your training or education.

Someone told me speaking Portuguese was a waste of time because “it’s a useless language to learn” …..what?

I did a “proper” engineering degree; nobody wants to hire grads, pay is mediocre, and career progression limited. No degree guarantees results 🤷🏻♂️

as someone who wants to study ancient religion and ancient Greece (not just religion, but mostly religion) I wonder all the time if it's 'smart' to study in school. I want to do it but I don't know if I'll be able to afford it

Side note but I also hate the notion that science and philosophy or art or writing are completely separate and that one is valuable while the other isn’t. Meanwhile, those we consider to be the greatest scientists in history were ALSO philosophers and writers and musicians. There is value in both.

I want to take classes at the local junior college in Religious Studies, but I hate the idea of wasting my family's money on an education that won't bring us money. It feels selfish to pursue personal development

I have a STEM degree but there’s no jobs unless you get a masters or PhD and I was waaaay too burnt out for that 🙃

redhead on the loose 🇦🇺 :
you are leaning into something that I feel uncomfortable with regarding commentary around education degrees. I'm in Australia, and people keep saying that our degree needs to be more vocational and on the ground, and less on theory... I actually think the opposite. I don't think enough universities place enough value on the theory... I find this concerning because it is the theory that challenges people to think, and it challenges their prejudices and thoughts, which I really think is so important in education.

I want to go to school for social worker/humanities but when I looked into financial assistance I was told the job turn out wasn’t seen as worthwhile and I was rejected. SOCIAL WORKERS ARE IN DESPERATE NEED but turn out wasn’t worth it???

Jess :
I don’t think college should be job training periodt. Like it’s academia then they added job training. To see it solely as something to invest in to make money in the future is perverse

people apparently forgot that getting a degree means that you're "STUDYING" not just having fun

I have a fine art degree and it's been more useful then people would think. The creative thinking, the ability to take feedback on work and doing projects on multiple deadlines in ways that other people just don't.

If you’ve been able to get a degree, do you feel it’s helped you achieve the life you were promised?
