Sorry not bilingual here. My degree is in Geography and unfortunately nobody told me you'd get next to nothing with that degree except eligibility into Teacher's College lol.
Geography is a great subject, it's too bad it's not specific like say, "accounting" --> accounting job or "registered nurse" --> nursing job.
Some general labour jobs can pay really really well but I'm looking long-term to build/grow a career too. I guess I could always stick with retail like sell shoes and try to work my way up to asst. mngr or manager one day....
I really feel stupid for spending 4-6 years studying in university paying $30K in tuition fees and at the end of it all come out with nothing but minimum wage paying jobs that any kid off the street can apply for too.
I've always preferred college programs because they teach you EXACTLY what you need to know for the job you are GOING to get. I think with University, it's more general/broad information and you have to pretty much plan on going to Law School, MBA or Teacher's college etc to get anything out of a BA degree.
Well....i'll still be looking around.
