Quoting CmdrZippo:Both of you in CS are probably less screwed than GM and I. I have a BS in astronomy. I can run shows at planetariums... there's like 10 of those in the country.


The only scope for me using my degree directly will require further study, which at the moment is not remotely financially palatable, and even then, I'm honestly not sure I want to wind up as a lecturer or someone in a museum, as interesting as that might be. While I will forever love the subject I studied at University, I went into the degree with full knowledge that there were better degrees from a career perspective, but for me, my degree was perfect. It was what I wanted and needed to do to set aside a whole lot of baggage from the past.

And yes, those with tech or business degrees will always have a better chance in the jobs market - those two both go directly into a number of sectors that are stable or growing. Both have their ups and downs but there will always be computers to build, code to write and houses to sell.

It's strange. I guess that's why the GDF has slowed down over the years too. It's sad actually.
