I just finished my last final of my last class of my undergraduate career. I've just joined the ranks of those with useless BA degrees.

I should feel really happy, right? Actually, I feel queasy.

Nice one babe. You'll be fine. Have a rest, relax.

Join the club to as you put it "useless BA degrees"


I hope your "useless" degree comes in as useful as mine did...

Hey Congrats I'm a recent Graduate myself but I don't think my degree is useless,what did you major in?

Philosophy. It's almost entirely useless. Unless you think winning debates on the org is really usefull.

tackam said:

Congrats, and welcome to the club. Mine is in political science, with a philosophy minor.

Needless to say, employers were not exactly chasing after me... so I went back to school and got a somewhat more marketable J.D. degree.

Granted, I think the real value of a liberal arts education is being an educated person... but I do remember thinking, "Gee, maybe I should have majored in business instead."

tackam said:

Anyone trained and disciplined in the Socratic method would, I should not think, be altogether unmarketable. Good luck with your results.

tackam said:

I guess it isn't very usefull then

matt said:

I didn't know you studied philosophy. Odd, you don't really argue that much. . .all of the phil people I know argue about any and everything. . .must be the polysci weighing you down. . .

Yeah, I actually kinda wish I had majored in biology and minored in philosophy. OR, I wish I would have gone ahead and taken a double-major in philosophy and fine art, as I have almost enough credits, and we all know that two useless degrees are better than one! But I'm not going back now. Maybe in a few years.

tackam said:

Hmmm... well, as a litigation attorney, I certainly have to argue. Maybe I'm just trying not to mix business and pleasure.

matt said:

True. . .gawd, I wish I could argue for a living without having to resort to being a lawyer. . .

yeah, i'm passing my Bac (french Final exams) on wednesday...if i get it i might be able to soon start trying to get a useless degree aswell...

congrats lady!!!
