Nothing but an ad
How is that "financialization of the economy" working for us? The Rust Belt has been hollowed out and good jobs replaced by opiod addicts. We can't make enough bombs, etc. to keep up with that nation we call "a gas station with nukes". We are now dependent on China, our main challenger for global supremacy, for cheap goods because our spending/inflation is out of control.
I’ve never gotten a job where I had to deal with HR. I’ve never not gotten the job where I dealt with the techies.
I agree an ad - although I followed the sort of same advice which came from a stepdad 30 years ago: undergrad in bus admin and then masters in computer science. Seemed to do ok with this approach. Thought about a PhD, but was just burned out on more degree work (unless I could have someone else to cover the costs).
Students who gradute with a degree in logistics or supply chain management are getting multiple job offers.
Students graduating with degrees in marine engineering are earning at least $80,000 a year for a three month on three month off schedule, and of course room and board is provided-tax free!
“Plastics!”
In most STEM fields I think it works better the other way around: an undergraduate degree in the STEM discipline and then an MBA. Or (if feasible) both an M.S. in the STEM field and an MBA.
True, but if you think about what is coming out of our universities of late, not all of them, but the majority are brainwashed socialist little communist. And the thought that they’re going to someday be in position of power brings chills down my spine. But one thing I am thankful to God for is that I am near the end of my life, and that there is some graduates with integrity who love this nation and wanna be successful and live the dreams this country has to offer! There are still good people out there with extreme good intentions for this nation. I hope it’s more of us than them though.
HR…ffs…
The DEI bubble may be deflating a bit but I’d still recommend a degree in Grievance Studies. Sorry, guys, but if you happen to be a white male you gotta find a boyfriend. Rules are rules.
Notice that ROI isn’t mentioned.
I was lucky enough to retire from a company with an old school HR guy who actually stressed what the title of the position suggests.
These are real majors that NYU students are going into debt for. This is not satire.
You can bet that Deep State is delighted to see that.
My thought process was when young and starting out in work life (after short military service out of HS) a business degree had more applicability across multiple fields/sectors and wasn’t necessarily going to put me only in a CS job as the first CS degree most likely would. Also, with the way tech changes, I wanted the CS degree to be as near current tech as was available when I got it. My first boss (or dept mgr who was my boss’s boss) had a MS in CS from what was then nearly 25 years in the past at that point and hadn’t really kept up with tech and most of his knowledge was old and it was sort of obvious he wasn’t really keeping up with his dept and just marking time until he could retire. But all that said, if I did it over again and suspected my entire career would be in some flavor of IT which it has been, then you are right and a CS in both undergrad and grad might be best while also adding mba and pm certs much later.
He did not know how to write a check, there was no decimal point after the dollar amount.
Median salary leaves out the hours to be worked, too. It’s not a 40 hour a week job…start at 50, and go from there. I love where a work, and I understand the term “exempt”, but my definition no longer includes 15-20 hours a week of OT.
certainly not all degrees are useless or worthless
not by a long shot
but we will never ever hire from any college that has condoned, permitted, facilitated, enabled, or promoted the sickening pro-terrorist mob scenes of recent weeks
(no hiring from the likes of Harvard, MIT, Berkeley, UCLA, none of them... the administrators should be fired immediately and replaced with moral, decent Americans)
we’d much prefer hiring from any of the many “less prestigious” colleges that maintain safe, civil campuses where their students can attend classes without threat or intimidation or having to be insulted by all the lying pro-Fakestinian communists, Nazis, and Useful (hired) idiots
Similar to what I did - I have a major in Physica and a minor in business. Thankfully it worked out for me, over the years I’ve gotten jobs due to the value that someone with a STEM degree brings - Problem solving, etc. I also learned the folks that understand that connection usually end up being good bosses! Business side was useful once I was already in the position and helped me move up. (Currently in a procurement-related field and loving it)
Chelsea Clinton’s degree got her a high paying job.
My 25 year old son has a BS in Biotechnology. His employer is paying for Masters in Engineering Management from UMass. He works for a major pharma corp in MA. They would not pay for an MBA.
Most of the jobs listed are not entry level jobs. You do not become “Sales Manager” unless you were a sales person to start. In most cases the Peter Principle was applied. At lest that has been my experience in my industry.
