Not to nitpick, but it really does depend on the school. A film degree from USC or NYU can lead to a very lucrative career.
Yes, but almost exclusively for students who already had significant professional experience in the field before starting the program.
But GovernmentShrinker had it right. We knew no "career" was going to be forth coming, the college was UC Santa Cruz, and the education was mostly liberal mush. To be sure this young guy did not even try to find a job in this field, and what he felt trained for was "camera man". As has been posted, one can take a college education for a purpose, or fall into a purpose later with a good liberal arts background, but if one does not apply some effort the result is you had a nice party. As also stated he is working and not returning to the fold. And he does have a small advantge over applicants for any position who only have a high school degree. True?
