People get excited about paper hat degrees, such as English Lit, Environmental Mgmt, and Sociology. Then they blame everyone else for the huge student loan they will never repay. Do your research before you jump in to any career. Take a summer job related to that career and keep both eyes open. If you can't find a related job think about what you just learned.

Jeremiah,

It's not always about money.

#20. If you get hired into IT administration, and you don't know how to map a network, you're in the wrong career.

I wanted to be an architect, but we got pregnant and I had to earn so I started working as a builder. 6 years on I went out by myself, within a year I was making well over $100k and I've never made less ... working 45 hours a week. Being the boss is the way to go, and dealing fair with customers means everybody is happy.

Yeah, retired fed here, I'm wondering when the gravy train starts. I'm waiting...

"Any video game career. I wouldn't say any specialized degree is a waste, but it's completely unnecessary. Jobs are super competitive so breaking in w/out experience is hard, and there's more and more candidates every year. One company I worked for said they rejected five thousand resumes for a position they posted. If you are talented to get a job you're talented enough to make 2x more outside gaming. Stress, burnout, and divorce are super common."
