Gender Studies isn't just a waste of money. It can have a negative effect on job prospects. Putting Gender Studies on your resume could be a red flag to employers that you're a lawsuit waiting to happen.
A Pro Tip :
I agree, only problem is: some companies simply won't employ you if you don't have a degree, even if you have prior work experience.
I know it's a long time ago, but a kid worked for me about 30 years ago in a mall. He was going to art school. His mother was a great artist. I didn't think it was useless. And it actually was valuable. He became an illustrator for high school science textbooks.
I was a profoundly lucky individual who bought into this lie, but just so happened to find math and physics the most interesting, so now I'm a data scientist.
I'm in a masters in psychology program and I hate to say I'm starting to agree with this.
I majored in Media Studies because I was a huge fan of video editing in high school and when I told my guidence counseler that's what I wanted to do he basically just said "oh that's basically film, which is media studies here".
Accurate video. I studied psychology and now I'm working as a low paid school counselor.
If you find you got a useless degree, just apply at an insurance company. They just require a degree to promote past entry level. Doesn't matter which one.
40 years ago, my Dad told me "college is fine, just don't let it interfere with your education". This thought has been expressed by many others at different points in history and in different ways and always rings true. It seems that a college education costs more today than ever, but its value seems to be worth less today than ever. Don't rush in.
I got a useless degree and went on to a career teaching the useless degree.
A college degree is worth only what you choose to make of it. I'm one of those people with a "worthless" BA in History and I somehow still manage to earn a 6-figure salary. In 30+ years, I've never once worked a job related to my field of study. But I have written three books and a dozen articles on military history.
Got my undergrad in psych and worked in the mall. Went back to school, got my masters in counseling, got my license and now i have my own private practice making over 100k per year. Its only a waste if you have no plans past undergrad
My daughter was told her degree in English was a worthless effort unless she wanted to be a school teacher. With her degree she started off as a proof reader then as an editor then went independent. She has a long client list and is constantly busy. She get offered a full time job nearly once a month that she routinely turns down. The trick? Strive for excellence. Too many college grads cannot write a coherent paragraph much less a coherent sentence. That is why companies outsource the writing/editing of important documents to skilled independents.
I work at a university in the TV industry behind the scenes. I have no degree and no more debt (my house is paid off. I have been doing this for twenty five years. Every year we get new interns who look down on me, because I do the grunt work, know two different operating systems for computers, know several editing systems, numerous art programs for creating graphics (NOT bound by the chains of M!crosoft). People come. People go. My job remains the same. The person with the communications degree telling me what to do is always changing.
The biggest things I gained most from college was 1. Being surrounded by multifaceted intelligent people (there were plenty of people who weren't, but the intelligent people kinda gravitated to each other). That network of peers I built 20+ years ago serves me well even today. 2. theoretical knowledge that deepend my understanding without necessarily giving any practical knowledge. I used the stuff you mentioned (whatever was available in the early 2000s) for the practical knowledge, but the theory is what I have that 99% of the people around me don't.
My teacher gave me the best advice. As a child, I was a natural artist (the class artist) but also blessed to be really good with the STEM courses in high school, and it was very confusing and complex to choose & commit to a career at 18 years old. I was trying to decide between an engineering (the more secure option) or a more artsy degree (seemed more interesting but had no promise of security). When I asked her what I should choose, she said, "Do what you need to do so you can do what you want." I interpreted that as "choose to engineering as it will provide the stability you need, so you can have the luxury to explore art or whatever you want (if I want)."
My wife and I raised our kids in private schools in South Australia and could see that none of them are university material, so we encouraged them to get a trade , they are succeeding quite well and earning really good wages ,and they don't have any kind of educational debt
“Most of my friends are artistic” well guess what most of mine are autistic
