Really? Name 5 bachelors degrees besides engineering and nursing where you can basically graduate and have your pick of whichever job you want?

So, getting a job straight out of undergrad is the only way a degree is "useful"?

real ballers and the people who run things in this country have liberal arts degrees.

You can't do that with any degree. What fantasy world do you live in?

2)Dental Hygiene
3)Dietetics/Nutrition

What a stupid statement, holy shite. First off, you can't get "any job you want" with those degrees. Secondly, ever heard of Financial Advisors, Accountants, Applied Mathematicians, Computer Science, ISDS? Those are just off the top of my head. Goddamn I hope you aren't in an engineering or nursing program cause you as as hell baw.

It's not so much a question about job availability in one's field for a bachelors. The problem is earning potential. There are plenty of jobs for someone with say only a biology degree, but most are survey or lab tech jobs that don't pay well.

Sounds like snowflake thinking of being able to get whatever job they want.
