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.

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!

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.

Meanwhile...

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.

Based on recent experience, be very wary of recent accounting graduates. One young fellow with a master’s in accounting from a P5 school, demonstrated zero skills in the 8 months he was with us. He would ask me to review his work prior to sending it to our boss. He assured me it was ready, lol. I found major errors in the first five minutes, took me two days to unwind his work.

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

I’ve held the first five job titles in the article at various times and never made near the $130K they cite. I have a Masters degree in Accounting and a CPA. The only way I made over $150K was to have a side hustle with my own CPA work. I worked with graduates from other schools that could only use excel to add a column of numbers and knew nothing about pivot tables, nested IF formulas or macros. All education is not equal.

A lot of managers there. Jobs that normally require experience.

I’ve pointed out before I took the first two actuarial exams - passed with flying colors — but could not pass the interviews.

The insurance companies said straight away that they would consider any major — so it doesn’t have to be Economics or even STEM.

Interpersonal chemistry is the #1 factor....it’s regrettable that the interviews come after the education.

Yes there are internships but when I was in school, most employers wanted experience before you could even interview for an internship.

Becoming an actuary requires a bachelor's degree plus obtaining one or two certifications by passing several professional exams.

Said so casually. Oh sure, just have to pass several exams.

Fact is you are more likely to become a full fledged MD then pass all those exams.

The pass rate is somewhere around 50%. And that is with repeated attempts.
