I worked my arse off for my accounting degree. I always look back padding my 18 year old self for having the wherewithal to do this degree instead of women's studies. The women were much hotter in accounting anyway, even though I was a virgin of course

Not the “wrong” degree. Majored in IT but think I would have enjoyed electrical or structural engineering more. Got no real complaints though. Life is good either way.

Slept through most of my classes and drank a lot.

Not sure I “earned” it. But it’s allowing me to make money, so there’s that.

I have a business degree. But now I’m an estimator for theme park construction making 6 figures. So maybe had the wrong degree?

Wasted my time "earning" my first degree. Was totally useless.

Started Civil Engineering and physics didn’t agree with me. Switched to Geography because it was my pseudo-minor and all my engineering and maths would count as electives.

Should have switched to what was known as Business Information Systems. I’ve been in IT ever since college.

Physics degree but never delved into the discipline after graduation. Entered into a management job in telecommunications and never looked back.

Turns out political science doesn't make you a scientist. Who knew.
