Want a job with your degree? Too bad.
A great post at iwillteachyoutoberich.com outlines why – if you want a job – college is the wrong place to be.
“But one of the stupidest things I heard thrown around was the question of which major would help get a job. It went something like this: “All the econ majors get jobs in consulting, so maybe I should do that…” (thousand-yard stare).”
This is one of those articles I read and instantly agreed.
