I have a history degree. I work part time as a teacher on contract for a private school. Waiting to get a slot so that I’m no longer parttime and move up to something more substantial.
I love my work, and I’m very good at it, but the opportunity hasn’t arisen just yet. Applied for positions in many places and been turned down. I teach middle school history and have done so for the last two years.
I also do data entry on contract to earn some extra bucks, and have been working recently as a runner for a local business here. They needed someone to drive around and pick up stuff, but didn’t want to go through the rigamarole of actually paying someone to be an employee. They just needed someone they could call a couple times a week to do running around, so that they didn’t have to do that themselves. So I do that right now.
Oh, I forgot the Gen-x/y/x mantra: Like dude, math is too hard man............How do you think your employment prospects would be with a science degree?
OTOH, have not seen such a good whine fest from a noob in a long time.
