My niece just got a Masters in Social Work from Columbia. Wish her luck with that.

BS wasn’t good enough for her. She had to master it.

Glad to see philosophy didn’t make the list. I didn’t try to make a career of it, settled on nuclear weapons effects instead. I mean, physics is just being able to do some math, sheesh how tough is that?

My Economics degree is quite handy.

I can accurately and correctly explain that the forces of supply and demand have created a market which has resulted in me being unemployed.

Of course, the article is deceptive on what you do with the degree as well. My undergrad degree in biology - practically worthless. As a stepping stone to the MD degree - provides a nice living.

Sometimes it isn’t what the degree itself brings, it the other doors it opens for you. Even a bachelors in social work or communication or whatever will allow one to apply to graduate school.

The worst paying degrees start in the mid thirties now? Wow. Have we had THAT much inflation?
