I know a lot of people who are just getting out of college with a BA in everything from Computer Science to Psychology and very few of them are getting jobs in their field. It’s very discouraging for someone like myself who is attending college and putting myself into major debt and being deprived of sleep and a social life just to put myself through school. Personally, I think the post Sept 11th job market may have a lot to do with it as well as the fall of the whole ‘dot com’ fad that was making people lots of money and creating lots of jobs. It used to be you could get a good job with just a HS diploma… then it was a college degree… now BA’s are seemingly as common as diploma’s were 5-8 years ago and they don’t have as much value when you’re searching for a job on your own. I think anyone’s best bet is with their college’s placement department. And if anyone is thinking about school it’s good to find out what your school’s job placement rate is (in their field of study). Anyway, maybe you should ask that guy why he’s doing that job with a Master’s degree! Then come back here and tell us what he says!
