the majority of college majors don't land you a practical job, even many of the stem related ones :/

Not true. CS landed me a job making sandwiches at subway.

happens when universities were intended for research

I got a degree in computer science and now I'm a security guard kek

>>81490970 (OP)
Engineering, CS, and psychology are maybe the only ones that you can solidly land a job with. Everything else is kinda shit, even physics. And unless you intend on going to med school, a biology degree is basically worthless.

I got a masters in horticulture and now work as a sales shill within the sector. The one benefit of the job is that i can drink on company time and get cool shit from clients sometimes.

Does bubble sort come in handy while making sandwiches?

>>81490970 (OP)
what are practical jobs?

Should I go back to school at 30 or do you think the system will collapse soon enough for it to not matter? I have a dead-end do-nothing job that pays the bills but not much more than that.

Invest in certification courses. A forklift cert should only run you about 150 bucks and it will make a noticable difference in the available jobs.

Bizarre isn't it? The world is getting more technological, you'd think there would be more opportunities, but it feels like there are far less.

>>81491846
Things are just getting more efficient. That or companies figured out that jeets will work for near free and retards will still buy their retarded products.

>>81490970 (OP)
Vocational degrees are clearly marked out. Unis straight up tell you what % of people are employed after finishing the degree on their websites, so how could you fuck it up?

What sucks is there are a lot of women with cs degrees who weren't even interested in technology that get hired over you guys. It's weird how a generation of female is grads were all herded over to cs from art degrees. I work in tech and these women are the ones who can't figure out how to power their laptop on or how to right click.

>lot of women with cs degrees
lol no, dunno about the other two but my classes were 97% male other than the webshitter classes which were 50/50 because the designfags could take those too and we built silly projects together which was actually fun

>>81492009
Oh yeah okay your college experience absolutely dismisses the validity of my claims based off of close to two decades working at big tech companies.

I studied something I was interested in like sociology and got a real grown up job in a field that pays money like accounting.

Weren't you talking about women getting cs degrees? I don't doubt that in big corps they'll hire women over some funky DEI reason.

>>81490970 (OP)
They've never done, they prepare you nothing else.

The job search is still something you have to do yourself. If you're lucky you get good connections at an internship or something.

>>81492195
How do you think they were able to even be eligible for DEI hire?

>>81492224
by just hiring everyone out of those 3-5%, this doesn't contradict anything i said

Requiring a college degree was a way of keeping low class people out of white collar jobs
since education was co-opted by the left college has become means of enacting social mobility which has meant employers have simply changed the barriers of entry so now your degree is worthless unless you have the right connections or are willing to work for basically free as a humiliation ritual

>>81490970 (OP)
I'm going into an engineering field, but I'll probably never work in the field ever because I have a very well paid teaching job lined up once I have a year of college under my belt cause the principal of my school liked me so much she wanted to hire me as soon as possible.

I blame AI

lmao, do you believe anything some ceo or vc shill says?

I want to get a Biology degree so I can get a comfy park job hanging out outdoors all day
