It’s very dependent upon the degree.

That’s why it’s on average.

It’s actually dependent on what the person does with the degree.

I have a bachelors in history and sociology.

what year did you graduate college?

Are you working as a Historian or a Sociologist?

Nope. That was my point

And a few anecdotal examples of people with generic liberal arts degrees doesn’t change the fact that most of those people are not making six figure salaries and don’t find jobs that had anything to do with what they studied in college.

Right i wasn’t trying to use myself as as example.

The poster said on average. He is right.

I have a theater degree and I make six figures in a field that is tangential to what I studied.

The question raised in an earlier article was about people’s satisfaction with their degree.

Whether or not you are in a field that matches your degree (and I’m certainly not in such a field), are you satisfied with your degree?

I know I am, in spite of a career that doesn’t match (or even relate to) the degree I earned.

Yeah… I gave up working in theater to work in TV and movies. Made quite a bit of money doing corporate event work for a few years.

All of it had to do with Lighting which was my focus in college.

I am hugely satisfied with my degree. I also think that my degree actually bodes well with what i do.

What a complete bunch of ■■■■■■■■■ Either we have open borders (or let’s just call it unlimited and unrestricted legal immigration) or the economy collapses. Economically speaking it would be perfectly fine to let low wage dead end jobs go unfilled then bringing in poverty from third world nations to fill them.
