      A top tier degree with good grades is almost always preferable. You'll learn more, spend less, and have real skills yourself rather than marketing the reputation of a big name college as a personal characteristic. Consider values for dollars.

    • @nunyabusiness6450
      @nunyabusiness6450 4 роки тому +12

      Depends. If it's bad because there's low earning potential in the field, then a useful degree in a lesser known institution absolutely. But if it's because it's difficult to get a job, but there's high earning potential (or at least decent), then a well known institution. Furthermore, if you don't use your college experience to the max, prestige won't get you anywhere. And it's only a cherry on top, you have to decide if it's worth the stress and debt.

      I've done this enjoyably.

If you have great tech chops, then who you know and can associate with productively -- networking -- is important too.

      Yes! I endorse this idea. Graduated Class of 2019 doubling in Political Science and Mathematical Economics and a Statistics minor. My Econ degree had me complete more pure maths than the physics majors at my university. I basically had people knocking down my door trying to hire me 4 months before I graduated.
      I highly recommend minoring in something technical as it will kick you up a notch. Take a couple of GIS courses and you'll be untouchable. I discovered GIS my senior year and regret not doing more. It's definitely the future.

    Humanities also equips you with those same rigorous analysis and our goal is to be objective as possible. We deal with both subjectivity and objectivity with as little bias as possible.
    Furthermore, as someone how has hopped around from Computer Science to Mathematics, to finally, Philosophy I realized I was looking for something more than just the axioms within Mathematics. I realized that I am not at all interested in *doing* Mathematics unless I am using Mathematics for philosophical purposes (i.e. Mathematical Philosophy).
    I like learning about Science and Mathematics to understand it's scope and limits. In Philosophy, we learn about Physics, Math, Computers, Machines *and* Human Nature. We may not have the skillset but we understand how it works and it can be picked up anytime if the Philosopher sees it as a helpful tool.
    At the end of the day I chose Philosophy because the scope of Mathematics is too narrow for how I want to observe life. I love the foundations in Mathematics of course, and some Graph Theory. I do that on my own time though and I don't care for it to be my academic background formally. My degree plan has computer science classes involved. I only plan to get a job in either programming, writing, marketing, or advertising. Perhaps all of the above will be done.

    I studied Political Science with an emphasis on International Relations and a language minor. For those of you who are worried about picking up hard skills in this field, all your research experience will be transferrable. You'll be tasked with a lot of data collection and interpretation, the use of certain software and databases, as well as the creation and application of mathematical formulas to political problems. Like any Social Science, the soft skill payoff will be excellent. Writing, reading, critical thinking, as well as cross-cultural understanding and communication (this is a big one, especially if you apply yourself to learning a language too) will all be strengthened in your Political Science degree.

    @shntll 4 роки тому

    I don't know if this has been asked or if anybody wanted to hear it, but I thought I'd give my experience of studying a Liberal Arts/Social Science degree in Sociology. Before I give my experience, I should mention that I'm not privileged enough to just study what I want and should've gone for a degree with a better outlook, but I'm also not the type of person to do a degree or job for the money because I know I'll hate it and it'll impact me long term, so ultimately I chose which degree I could find myself enjoying the most.
    I live in the UK and before applying to do Sociology, I was considering to do Law as I did better in that subject at A Level, but I went to a Law session for aspiring lawyers and I hated it so much. I knew it wasn't for me and I decided to change to Sociology at the last minute, and I'm so glad I did! The reason behind the change and why I changed to Sociology is because I love helping people and I've always been interested in the workings of society, so I thought it would be the best option that combines the two. It was in my first year of my undergraduate degree that I knew I wanted to be a Sociologist, and I'm currently applying for PhD study to achieve that. I know that's not for everyone but I love studying different concepts and helping society with it, but I can understand why people don't pursue it that far, or at all.
    I think the biggest reason why a lot of people don't take Sociology is because of the lack of employment for Sociologists and the fact that technically, you can read up Sociology online and still have the same benefits of a degree but for free. That's true and I'm not going to deny that, but going to university to study Sociology helps you to become a bit more well rounded in terms of Sociological theory than reading certain topics online and you can apply that to almost every social problem there is. Also, when you go to university to study it, you'll learn that there's more to it than just studying trends in society; there's a bit of Law and Policy, Philosophy, Psychology, and even Maths believe it or not! There's a lot more to it than just Marx or Capitalism, and the beauty of Sociology is that everything can be Sociological, so if you wanted to do an essay on Marvel, celebrities, children's toys, food, whatever it is you're passionate about, you can probably study it in Sociology.
    Although Sociology is so broad, I do have to say that you have to be smart with the degree and know how to best utilise it. For instance, if you enjoyed the politics and political science part of the degree, maybe consider a Masters in Politics or look for work with your local political party, or if you enjoyed the research element, consider applying to be a data research analyst for a company. I knew a lot of people who knew or had a rough idea what they wanted to do after their degree, and in my experience it was those who had no idea of what Sociology even is or expected to get a job right after graduation that struggled to find relevant work, if they found work at all. I knew people on my course who chose the degree randomly (as in they literally scrolled through the list of available degrees and chose the 50th one or something) and were surprised to know that yes, many people who study Sociology don't earn as much as other degrees and they ended up dropping out. Others thought that the degree would be easy and did it 'just because', but they didnt even get the grades to move onto the second year. There's so much you can do with a Sociology degree, you just need to know how to work to your strengths to make the degree work for you.
    Finally, I do not regret studying Sociology at all. I love it so much and this is the first time in my life where I'm actually good at something. I can look at social, environmental, political, economic, legal, technological and more issues and know exactly how to approach them to help find a solution. And hey, if more and more jobs are being taken by robots, I can still study a society of robots; as long as there's a society, or even when we have no society left, there's a job for a Sociologist.

    The first job for liberal arts people is to research YOURSELF. Understand your personality preferences - positive for what you like, and negative for what you hate. Tests such as Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and related job preference scales can give clues, but everyone has to decide what they hate, and truly dislike, discard those possibilities, then examine the remaining choices closely. Choose college courses to minor in the top three or four, and to major in the favorite one. Stay mentally limber and flexible because choice change is likely, and real life modifies the best-laid plans.

    I need to correct you on something: from my knowledge most Liberal Arts majors don’t major in the same field for their Masters or Advanced degrees. They often switch to Library Studies, Business, Law and even STEM or Med School. Plus it must be said within that dataset a high percentage will get an associates degree (you can make bank with the right one), do undergrad work to get the credits needed for a STEM or Med school, or get a second undergraduate degree. The second bachelor’s is almost always in STEM, Accounting, or Nursing btw.
    The moral of the story is to be very weary about majoring in a Liberal Art degree.

    • @pranavpillai7778
      @pranavpillai7778 2 роки тому

      Anthony liberal arts majors are fine if you did one of the following:
      1. Technical/ business/math related training- if you minor or add courses in business, math, and/or technology related courses it can help upgrade your resume greatly. Accounting and programming are two great choices. You can break into the business and tech world like this.
      2. Professional graduate degrees- JD, MBA, MD, etc. can help improve you employment prospects. These lead to highly esteemed professions which can be quite lucrative. You can get in with any degree and a liberal arts degree can serve as a stepping stone. For law school and MBA programs you should consider the employment prospects of the program you are enrolling in because they are saturated.
      3. Target in demand occupation: there is a myriad of things you can do with a liberal arts degree. You need to target one specific profession and specialize your degree in it. Government, military, and even certain jobs in the business world simply require a bachelors and do not care about what degree you have. Also, if you are aiming to work in your field it can be tonight because creative, and socially conscious, artistic careers are usually hard to get but some may be attainable.
      4. Ivy League schools: being a liberal arts major at Harvard is a whole another ball game than at a state u. Sometimes top school might help.

    Shane!! @1:58 you mention that going back to get your Master's or PhD might not be worth it!? ... So I once knew a young lady who earned her bachelor's in elementary education, and found a job/teaching position in her field that she enjoyed and had that position for about three years. During this three years she was teaching she was also going to school online to earn her Master's degree in education. Once she finishes her Master's, the union contract that she's has says the school she's working for now has to pay her more because of the Master's degree. Well wouldn't you know, come the end of the school/teaching year and she is laid off with the school district claiming 'cut backs' & 'budget problems'. So she moves back home and gets a job at a day care thinking no big deal, come next fall when the next school year starts they will call her back and everything will be good again! So as the fall approaches and the school year gets closer and closer and she hasn't heard anything from the school district, she decides to call them, only to learn that they had replaced her with someone with a bachelors degree. She said to me; "I never thought my Master's degree would hurt me."

    Whew, I guess that means I dodged a bullet by not majoring in a liberal arts degree, since I am not too entrepreneurial nor very skilled at leadership (at least, that's how I feel about myself, maybe I should change my mind about that one day).
    I didn't know that criminal justice was actually better than most other liberal arts, since the people I know who have that degree are working in social work, though that might be due to their circumstances. Economics, however, was expected, since businesses are often run by CEOs who could potentially have an Economics major along with whatever field their business is in.
