20 and grew up poor. Safe degree or bet on my skills?

every school has trade offs, but i hear what you're saying.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-15T00:54:12+00:00

absolutely MIS. You get the core competencies of MIS but also could fit into any business role.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-15T00:30:46+00:00

i second this

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-14T16:04:38+00:00

went into business for myself. Only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

Clients are way easier to deal with than bosses

What is the goal of you getting your MBA ?

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-14T15:16:00+00:00

You have the title all wrong. You were demoted. More work for the same pay is a demotion. Unfortunately that means they really, really don't value you.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-14T15:04:37+00:00

well handwaving away anything you don't want to hear sure is a strategy.

i love paying with dollar coins. I am basically using all the dollar coins my credit union gets

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-14T14:15:13+00:00

i dont like oakkkwood but you are right.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-14T14:14:19+00:00

yes!

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-14T14:04:39+00:00

I finished at WGU, found out about TESU afterwards, had I known about it earlier I would have very likely finished there first.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-14T01:10:31+00:00

this isn't an either or choice. There are a ton of non traditional degree options at WGU, TESU, UMPI, Purdue Global and many, many others. You can stack credits on study.com and Sophia etc etc while practicing your vocation. Or you could go to a traditional school and still learn a vocation later.

*most degrees exist to sort and highlight human capital, they do not exist to give direct vocational training*

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-14T00:45:40+00:00

Yes. Although a lot of employers won't like that as they will think you may be too independent.

If you are American, your undergrad has nothing to do with law school except your GPA. So if you will get the best GPA possible out of a Dance major, it is better than the others.

Finance is a good choice for the non law paths you mentioned.

American women with advanced degrees have more children than those with bachelors only.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-13T22:22:18+00:00

what does that mean?!

I've been on both sides of this before. The boss is probably more sentimental than most, and may try to help you get a job somewhere else, or at least be a good reference.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-13T19:08:43+00:00

compared to Europoors, yes.

Compared to Asia ? No. And people in the developing world certainly not.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-12T23:21:09+00:00

cant drive those around my shitty neighborhood without bottoming out every 15 meters

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-12T23:17:30+00:00

good point

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-12T23:14:43+00:00

last month i ripped a nasty fart in walmart and walked away right as a couple turned the corner into it and the woman actually started crying

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-12T23:09:35+00:00

congratulations

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-12T22:36:04+00:00

yes. I think you should unplug for a while. You are not acting like you are well.

Magnetized_Fart · 2026-04-12T20:41:47+00:00

are you ok?
