Is there such a thing as there being degrees (Which are useful and can be applied to a decent selection of vacancies) and:
“degrees” (Which might sound fancy but aren’t useful in a lot of vacancies, could also be just to say you got a degree)
This is not to insult anyone who has been to a university and finished their course, but it’s something I’ve been told long time ago by my previous work colleague who nearly became a lawyer, supposedly there are meme degrees as he puts it that look good on a CV but used in an interview is tripe.
What are your thoughts on this? Would you say that is complete nonsense? Or is there some truth to this?
Some degrees are more in demand than others, but even a degree in something you think is useless (like philosophy) is an indicator to employers that you are the kind of person to get a college education and are in so much debt you’ll do anything for a job.
