[quote=Anonymous]"Many grads go to school for degrees that aren't needed. That is a problem. Yes, it may be your passion but it might not get you the $$."

The small group that studies a subject they are passionate about really don't have a problem.

If it truly is their passion, then they have spent their lives to that point, doing whatever is necessary to allow them to do it.

More likely, it is called a passion because they think telling others it is a passion gives them an excuse.

Actually, very few GO to school for degrees that aren't needed.  I will admit may FINISH school with degrees that aren't worth much.

Lots of students START as engineers or business majors or nursing majors or undecided.  All of those are very useful but all of them are difficult in one way or another.

Take undecided for example.  The point is to figure out what you want to do THAT IS NEEDED.

After 18 years, you either have a pretty good idea or you are looking for some fantasy that doesn't exist.

Trying to change that in 4 to 9 or even 21 months is hard and often leads to searching the course catalog for the closest degree to the list of AP and college courses you have taken.

Since it is "obvious" that it is better to be looking for a job with a silly degree rather than with just a list of silly courses a few credits short of a degree, students do FINISH school.

So they have FINISHED but have done NOTHING about their undecided problem.
