"you get an arts degree
you get out of uni
you get some additional training
you start bean counting"
Yep. That's the way it works.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
I thought all brittish art students started bands with their art-school friends and ended up as rich.

Yes, when people just list a topic and say discuss without posting their own opinion, it's obvious that they don't have the brains to form one themselves. No surprise in this case
They are far from worthless. When you're out job hunting, any degree will place you far ahead of those that don't have one.
Many many peoples first job has nothing to do with what the degree was. And even if it does, many people have said that it really didn't prepare them. A degree gets you in the door, experience will take over after that.

And you can't do a blanket "Arts Degrees". My degree is a BA, but it's hardly of the style of a "History of Art".The church is the only organisation that exists for the benefit of its non-members

A Liberial Arts degree indicates that the holder has "learned how to learn".
Dan: "In the US, 2/3rd of all degree holders are in positions unrelated to their degree."
Can you split that into a nr for university degrees (specialised in something) and college degrees (finally learned how to read, write and count) ?
Ok, sorry for the troll, but how does this 2/3rd share vary across degrees ?Comment

I steadfastly refuse to back up my statistics.
And there's a difference between "University" and "College" degrees?

I'm always hoplessly confused by your academic system (or lack of system). The rather broad college degrees (arts bachelor) vs law or med school, for example.Comment

BA degrees are definitely not worthless.
I'm going for a BA in History, then later, go for a Phd in graduate school to work towards my goal of becoming an underpaid professor and teach undergrad students U.S. history.
Something that I believe I will enjoy working in.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

Don't do it, Mr. Fun. I'm a history major too, but I'm going to stay as far from academia as I possibly can. Bad job prospects, crappy pay, and having to deal with frat boys on a daily basis is enough to make me run far, far away.Originally posted by MrFun

I'll try the easiest one for you.
B.A. bachelor of arts (includes foreign language classes)
B.S. Bachelor of science (substitute computer languages or extra math and science clases for foreign language classes)
Other than that, they're the same. SIMPLE
I have a B.S. which I always feel is very appropriate.

Until I find a university to work for after graduate school, I can find some other full-time job while searching for the right university.
I am well aware of the attitude of students who just want to "get through" their required history course. But there are also students who are not sure what they want to do as freshmen, and then they end up becoming history majors.
