Apparently, I wasted years of higher education because it's unlikely I will be able to secure a job of any sort when I graduate in May. I'm glad I spent four years studying pre-law to be rejected for a job by a grocery store.
Isn't pre-law without a further law degree useless?
Me, with a BSME - I asked if Ross or Toys R Us were hiring for PT jobs and they said they'd hire me if I had retail experience; I do from a Toys R Us HS job. So they'll hire.
Try getting a law firm administrative assistant job.
And then there are lots of nearly useless college degrees. Like what can Sociology get?
hahahaha, I have a Soc. degree. It's basically a gateway to grad. school where you can then find real work. I also work for a law firm. Pre-law is just that, it's the pre that is important here. Either go to law school or begin on planning for graduate school. And honestly, you can make really good money in law firms working as a paralegal or secretary or even just staff.
Pre-law is just a curiculum of courses, could be a degree in Philosophy. In other words, pretty useless on itself.
That's what he gets for going to keg parties for 4 years and taking movie theory and basket-weaving, while I was busting my ass in Calculus.
So, yes, a college degree was worthless for you, if you don't continue with schooling.
For me it was very worthwhile.
You should have known some degrees require further advancement to be useful. Like a BA Psychology is not good enough to practice Pyschology. Or Pre Med is nothing without going further. It's your fault for thinking you did enough. Now you gotta go to law school to make use of your 4 years and be a lawyer, if you don't do that your were an idiot for just going 4 years for pre law.
^ Did you not read my post and the post above you?
Pre-law and pre-med are not majors. It is just a curriculum that a college student follows in hopes of becoming a lawyer or doctor.
Most pre-law students major in political science which can get you a job. And most pre-med students major in biology,nueroscience,etc., which will definitely get you a job.
After some years of finding out that WITHOUT a college degree she couldn't make the kind of money a degree would get her in Business/Accounting, she went to college and got an AA and went on to get a Bachelor's. That was in 1997 and she was 49 yrs old. Right now she is working as a Senior Financial Analyst and making 64K a year. She could go on and get her CPA, but that would require too many study hours, too much money and too many work hours when she got a job as a CPA.
College degrees are NOT worthless........heck, I wish I had one right now!!
