[JC31134]

It’s not so easy to just ‘get a job.’ Some very smart people are pulled to certain subjects in college that they feel are best for them, and to which they feel they can contribute. Unless these subjects are business or engineering, then they are going to have a very tough time finding a career in their field. Sometimes they (we) know this, but are hopeful that they can find something. Unfortunately, for a lot of academic subjects, (liberal arts-type stuff, philosophy, history, linguistics, that stuff) the job market is TINY and the only option is to get a Ph.D. and become a professor. So what to do with your BA or BS if you don’t want to go through 4 more years of school? The answer: whatever you can. And sadly, that sometimes ends up not being so lucrative. I mean, am I overqualified for a mall job? Yes. But I am not overqualified for dinner, and that’s why I am job hunting. Also, the response about college not just being about job placement is dead-on. Traditionally, college has been about improving the mind, and learning of the world, even more than it’s been about job training.
