    Teacher, cashier, street poet, etc. unless you go on to start your own business related to your degree or become an entertainer.

    To be fair, Liberal Arts includes degrees that can result in "legitimate" jobs.

    How about, Liberal Arts - STEM degrees

  • I have an idea for the OP -

    Shut the fuck up and enjoy your own shitty PC vomit inducing monarchy.

    Here is one of those "on the street videos" filmed from my hometown. It makes Strongsville look like shit..

    Well when I went to college there were flyers all over the bulletin board pushing applications from recent graduates. The companies were corporations of various types but many of them specified any degree. I'm assuming that someone who puts the time and effort into graduating has a certain type of responsibility that would be valuable to a company. Especially opposed to 1 or 2 years dicking around in college which shows lack of same.

    I think things may be different in today's market and a more specified degree would be preferred.

    Well, those are liberal arts degrees.

    Get a STEM major and you'll have specific jobs to apply for

    (some more broad than others. As an ME, I can really apply to almost any engineering job. Also, finance/consulting places take engineers as well. It is much easier to teach an engineer/STEM major business then teach a business major math/quantitative skills/etc)

    I'm not an English major but did you really just write this sentence, read it, think "yeah that makes sense," and then post it??

    Holy fuck.

    Than not then, my apologies.

    It is easier to teach STEM majors business (business skills), than to teach non STEM majors quantitative skills....

    Was it really that hard to understand? Lol

    Outside of the then/than typo, it makes perfect sense to me. Maybe it involves college talk with the major phrasing.

  • Tbh woody, I didn't get what you were saying. I do now.

  • The typo wasn't a problem - I didn't even notice and still don't care.

    "Business majors can't learn math/ quantitative skills"

    What is it you think a CPA does all day?

  • But please, continue your arrogant douche thing.

    I never said can't.

    Consulting firms, trading firms, etc, recruited our engineering department. Not for engineering skills, but quantitative skills. They could fill in the gaps in business knowledge with on the job training.

    I'm saying that, it is easier to do this than take your average BBA and teach them the engineering skills or technical skills.

    I'm just relaying what I've heard from recruiters and others. I'm not saying smart business majors don't exist, I'm not saying they aren't good at math, etc etc etc.

  • No you're right. You never said can't. But it's what you meant.

    I think you're thinking about an online business administration degree which is the business/Econ equivalent of a construction management degree in the engineering world.

    Apples / oranges.

    Well thank you for telling me what I meant. Clearly you would know more about what kind of business jobs engineering majors get recruited for than the engineering major that graduated last summer...and attended multiple company info sessions...and a career fair with 300 companies...

  • So now it's who gets hired by what jobs blah, zzzzzz......

    Keep editing and revising your point. (You're on your 3rd if anyone wants to keep track)

    What do you want me to dispute?
