What sort of degree is just "university studies"?

University Studies? Sounds like a bullshit degree. What is the career pathway for that, community college advisor?

>>706806
>>706833
Three different minors. General studies. It's a degree in nothing, basically.

Wow.. I had no idea that this was even a thing. This sounds worse than an art history degree.

On a different note, my 3 year old has started saying (pic related) "Leave me alone to die." This is not a funny sentence when an actual 3 year old says it.

If he/she hasn't seen this movie, I'm concerned. You should probably look into where your child might have heard the phrase.

>>706993
That is not a thing. It's possible not to major in anything, but not to get a degree in "nothing".

Please leave this website and work on your reading comprehension.

fucktard.

From what I remember, University Studies was basically the "I can't figure out what major I want" major. As far as I could tell it was pretty much useless.

>>706993

Why didn't you just pick two things you were interested in, and double major? You had to narrow it down to three in order to take the path you did, and you ended up with the degree equivalent of a "participation" sticker.

Who is the accrediting body for "University Studies"?

>>707026

She has seen the movie... That is where she gets it from. Still not amusing.

>>706311
In what subjects did you take minors?

Have you tried listing these subject concentrations on your resume; Say you have a B.A from whatever university with minors in X Y and Z.

Don't mention "University Studies".

more like
>major in STEM
>cant find a job because you didnt spend enough time networking, doing related internships
>on top of that youre not even that competent in your field

>>708269
I've always thought if you can't find a job in STEM you can become a science teacher.

I am seriously considering majoring in classics. I feel like a liberal arts degree might benefit me more than a STEM degree. Also, is it just my perception or is every engineer on 4chan a mechanical engineer?

>>708279
mechanical are all the unemployed ones hence we are here
>4 years of theory
>count boxes on a drawing for hvac outlets

>>708273
Easier said than done. I don't sperg out, but I am well aware that charisma is not my strong point.

>>708274
>STEM internship
Even harder to get. Few are offered and they are primarily given to women, minorities, and those with connections in the company. As for competence I had a near 4.0 GPA and did a semester of undergraduate research.

>>708279
It has crossed my mind, but teaching at a level lower than community college has always been shit in my eyes. Even in community college night classes would probably be best so that most of the class isn't teenagers.

>>708279
>mechanic engineer

Too useless to be a mechanic too dumb to be a real engineer. Sounds right to me.

>>708279
Mechanical engineers make money though.

>>708279
>Also, is it just my perception or is every engineer on 4chan a mechanical engineer?
Forgot to mention, and although not included in the post you replied to, I am a mechanical engineer.

>>708288
I learned AutoCAD and took drafting classes in high school. Taking four years of college only to apply for jobs that are primarily concerned in an skill I had back in high school is pretty disheartening.

>>708288
try usa jobs, or contractors. navy's hiring.

>>708885
USA jobs is a joke. All the jobs I applied for I got rejected with the reason being that there was an overwhelming response and preference is given to "protected groups" or some such shit.

Commissioning in Air Force is something I considered, but I'm not sure if I would be able to get 5 meaningful reference letters.

OP I am honestly curious why you did this? Why do so many people do this? I went into college and started worrying immediately about getting a job. Studying accounting now.

>>708294
Being a teacher is easier, less stressful, and has better hours.

>>706993
Nobody wants a generalist. Nobody. What sort of jobs have you been applying for? What interests you? If I was a recruiting director, honestly I would pass if I saw a "University Studies". Hell I'd rather take someone who had a degree in a throwaway major like Gender Studies, at least they had direction.

>>708893
USA Jobs is only for disabled nigger veterans.

At least you still have your health.

I got a bachelors in electrical engineering, but I've developed schizophrenia and am severely limited in what kind of jobs are suitable for me, and moving away on my own is not a good idea either. Sucks that I never really had a chance to make it. At least right now I can support myself though.

If you aren't a complete fuckup like me then you can fix any of your career issues.
