[quote=Anonymous]OP here.... I got my law degree, worked for awhile and after taking time off for kids would like to go back -- but not necessarily in law.  I'm willing to start at an entry level, but I find that my bachelor's degree is worthless.  So, I feel like I am essentially like a HS graduate when appling for jobs.  When I advise my kids about college (which is still a few years away), I'd like to give them serious advice about picking a major that will have some value.  I hope/expect that they will get a higher level degree as well, but if they want to change directions later down the road -- I would hope their bachelors degree has some value (unlike mine!).  So, that's where I'm coming from.  Yes, I want my kids to learn how to think in college.... I assume that will happen in any major and certainly though grad school.  I'm a bit jealous of people who have a "real" degree for undergrad... I didn't receive much of any advice other than "follow your dreams" type of comments and i regret choosing such a fluffly, useless undergrad degree.

Thanks for the suggestions.... there are quite a few I hadn't thought of.[/quote]
