The daughter of a friend actually received an undergraduate degree in Peace and Environmental Studies from a major private University. It qualified her for a job as a a barista. I guess one could raise an eyebrow about my under graduate degree with dual majors in Chemistry and French Language which started me on a career in healthcare policy.
RE: It qualified her for a job as a a barista
I was thinking, had she actually started working as a barista for say, Starbucks after graduating high school, she would be in management right now without having to repay her college tuition.
