Way to go!
Thank you, thank you, it is my proudest achievement to date!
<Mechanics' drawl> I think I found yer problem right here. </sarcasm> If you had gone with a technical discipline instead, you'd probably have zero trouble finding a job-- it's just the state of the world right now. Philosophers, artists, etc aren't highly paid or sought after at the moment.
You're quite right. Unfortunately I have no technical skill. I had to take pre-remedial math before I could even qualify for remedial math in college! *LOL* My original plan was to get a doctorate and become part of the Academic world. Not that there was a lot of call for that even in the late 90s when I was attending college. My late father, bless him, intending to give me similar advice asked me why I didn't get a business degree instead, to which my answer was, "Because then I'd have to work in Business the rest of my life."
Regardless of your employment situation, do you feel like a more rounded / wiser person for having gone through college?
VERY much so! I found the answers to a lot of questions, and of course found many more questions, and what is life without curiosity?
I'd like to add, I have actually used my degree more during conversations on the internet than in any professional setting! True story!
