Law used to be the “back-up” plan for undergrads that knew that a. they wouldn’t have a good gpa to apply to any healthcare profession schools or b. they couldn’t possibly have better career prospects/higher income by pursueing graduate studies in their major.

Now it is just a one way ticket to poverty.

The only way to be guarenteed a job in the United States is to become a doctor.

Computer Science degree? Jobs are being outsourced and the ones that aren’t outsourced are almost impossible to get because of the numerous qualifications and experience required along with the competition.

Engineering degree? Close to impossible to get a job depending on what type of engineering. You need a couple of years of experience and getting that experience is also close to impossible to get because of all the competition for internships. It’s sad that you can’t just walk out of college with an engineering degree and get a job considering that it is one of the more demanding degrees.

Biology/Chemistry/Neuroscience/Any biological science degree? Temp job as a lab tech, which is pretty hard to get and depends on whether you’re willing to relocate. Make about 30k salary, no benefits, and have the opportunity of getting laid off any time. Job prospects are much worse at the Masters and PhD level.

Physics degree? - You can get a quant job IF you are 1. Lucky or 2. Go to an ivy league. Other than that, good luck. You could also qualify for a lab tech, but that’s a dead end leading to no where.

Law degree ?- Law schools are expensive and there are way too many lawyers out there. Law school is one big scam. It used to be a good profession, but now there’s no going back to what it used to be. It’s better to work at a fast food place after getting your bachelors than to go to law school. Less debt, less stress, and more income.

PharmD degree? - The field is saturated and many are going to be laid off because there is simply no demand for the many pharmacists out there. Their job requires virtually no work. Pharmacists are going to end up like lawyers. The glut are going to be looking for jobs while having massive amounts of debt.

MBA degree? - A waste of money unless you are in a top notch program. Even then you can teach yourself business, but you can’t teach yourself to think (which these programs don’t help you with).

Business degree? - If you have a 4.0, excellent credentials, and go to a top tier school, then you have a shot at finding a decent job. Otherwise, this degree is worthless considering a business degree is the most popular degree in the US.

Comm Arts/English/Art History/Art/Sociology/Anthropology degree? - Get out. If it’s difficult for engineering, CS, business, and science majors to find a job, then these degrees are the lowest of the low. You better be getting this degree practically for free (less than 20k in overall debt and even then it’s a waste).

Our country is messed up. First the tech bubble bursts, then the law bubble bursts. Then we have the mortgage crisis. and now we are about to have the student loan crisis and we are already seeing the effects of saturation in the field of pharmacy, which will lead to the burst of the Pharmacist bubble.

Stuck up old folks refuse to retire and keep working these jobs, this is the worst part. There won’t be new job openings for awhile and the ones that get filled will be held onto until the person can juice everything they can out of the job itself.

We are going to be in a depression in the next few years and this time it’s going to be irreversible. It’s not going to be like the first one that was fixable. We the people have been too ignorant and keep falling for scams from corporations.

Law school? A scam.

Pharmacy school? A scam in the making.

MBA programs? - A scam.

Most universities/colleges? A scam.

Pharmaceutical companies? A scam.

Car dealerships and oil companies that refuse to invest in another source of energy that is better for our planet and better for the economy overall? A scam.

The fact that the US government doesn’t provide universal health care while the economically stable Canada, UK, and France does? A SCAM.

We have been scammed and we refuse to acknowledge it because we are ignorant. Something must be done.
