college degree

Do you have a college degree? If so what is it?
I have my bachelors in General Historical Studies or History as some colleges put it.
I got into grad school realized I was sick of school and left
Thing is I am a rarity I got student loans but paid them off while in college and only needed a year after to pay em off

I also have a Bachelor's Degree in History. I was in taking classes for Secondary Education but never completed them. I also was one class short of a Religious Studies minor.

I think it's more mediocre than bad. But that's just me.

I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts with a major in Sequential Art and an (incomplete) minor in Game Design. So far it's been worth the odd bit of commissioned work more than anything.

I kind of wanted to go to Law school for a while.

Right now if I go back I'll most likely go for Library Science. I would love to work in archives.

I'm graduating with my bachelors (Information Systems) this semester. 8 weeks to go!

$15k a year median increase (a better metric than average for things like salaries which have ridiculously high numbers for some people) that costs usually no more than $25-29k (median and average respectively) in student loan debt... so you break even after just two years.

This also doesn't consider loan forgiveness programs (usually available for government workers) or loan payment matching/tuition reimbursemant (offered as a signing bonus in the corporate world).

I don't know - I was raised that knowledge is it's own reward. I learned lots of neat stuff that I was interested in knowing about, from people that were knowledgeable about those things.

Heck, even if that piece of paper hasn't landed me a dream job... just having a degree has given me a pay bump in totally unrelated fields a number of times. I know first-hand there's been at least a couple of occasions where I was put in the running for a leadership role or ear-marked as employee with upward mobility just for having a degree. These are promotions I probably could have got into without one, but it's certainly fast-tracked me.

I'm not some elitist snob that thinks anyone without one is "less" than me, or that someone without a BFA won't know as much about art appreciation as I do, or can't be as skilled. But I don't regret it at all, and it's definitely been beneficial to me.

I have a BS in Economics. It got me a job...once. That job contributed basically nothing to my current position in life (very happy early retirement). Looked good on various walls though.
