Reply #145: Advanced degrees don't mean SHIT anymore.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

I'm an artist and a musician. Have been my whole life.

What did I do in school? I was encouraged in music but told that it "wasn't practical, I couldn't get a job doing it". Majoring in fine arts would have been HORRIBLE. Majoring in liberal arts, which I was also good at, would have been bad too. And sociology and psychology were black arts, not real sciences, according to my parents. So I was not allowed to major in anything I was really good at.

So I got three degrees in non creative stuff because I thought it was for my own good.

I got a BA in biology and a Juris Doctor, a law degree. Now wouldn't you think somebody with a law degree and two other degrees that help with that understanding, would at least be able to get a job as a paralegal?

Well, you would be wrong. I have never been able to get a job that required or considered either my BA or my JD.

So I wasted 12 years going to college studying stuff that I didn't have my heart in, because I though they would make me employable.

So I'm pretty bitter. I would have had just as much luck in the job market had I gotten a BFA in painting, which is what I really wanted to do.

Yeah, I'm bitter. The idea that "education" and "retraining for new jobs" will help people get jobs just holds them down, wastes their time, and drives them deeper into huge debts for student loans. It's propaganda from the ruling class and is a liability, not an asset.

:wtf: :banghead: :grr:
