<p>I know friends who got degrees in things like political science and social anthro from UC Berkeley. Has been about 3 years since their graduation, One is returning to school to do nursing at a CSU, and the other managed to land a gig in engineering through connections from the military (he’s an officer in the marines. But that probably has nothing to do with where he did his undergrad, though his military experience probably helped him get into Cal.)</p>
