I'd like to add to the conversation a bit. As far as the arts is concerned, I strongly considered getting into that. I would say that a lot of kids major in it simply because they like it. Maybe some of them are big shot kids? Maybe some are poor people? Any ideas?

At this point, I'm not confident to say.

If liberal arts is so stupid, here's something to consider: Why did people learn it years ago?

Maybe sometimes people just want to learn cool stuff and become an enlightened, smart, wise person???

But then, years ago, education was dirt cheap!

By the way, I nearly have my Business degree. For fellow business majors here, let me remind you of this little tidbit:

Business majors are generally considered to be a dime a dozen.

DesertRat, from what I gather, unless you were top of your class in some big-shot school and/or [got people's attention/networked/made a name for yourself], or you majored in some key technical thing like accounting and took enough classes to qualify for CPA or something, you're right in the same boat with me (or maybe slightly better, since I took my courses online). I took entrepreneurship. Business online wasn't my first choice of major. It was my bailout when things turned sour. Where will it get me? Only time will tell.



In many ways, life hasn't been extremely hopeful lately.
