[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 412855, member: 265"] On college degrees: here's the Ur source on the outcomes of different college majors: [URL]https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/whats-it-worth-the-economic-value-of-college-majors[/URL] As can be seen from a quick look at different majors, degrees lead to all kinds of different work. I'm a political scientist. You might think that teaching is where most POLS grads end up. It's actually fifth behind government, finance, professionals services, and retail trade. And when you look at the stats on income and employment, most majors have pretty good results, especially if the kid involved goes on for an advanced degree. This is based on the 2010 census, so there is no doubt about the stability of the estimates. Also, things are a good deal better now then they were then, right in the middle of the Depression of 2008. So I'd tell all the young people you reference to buckle down and [I]get an advanced degree[/I]. The "good" jobs almost all require them (or a big dose of good luck). Now. see? Nice to have someone who keeps on top of this stuff for you, nicht wahr? [/QUOTE]
