<p>I think people rely too much on their degree to get them a job when it’s really not the case. A common misconception nowadays is that people go directly to college to get skill sets and then head out to the job market with those skill sets - not true at all; only a few majors are like this (accounting, engineering, etc). </p>
<p>What you should be doing is think of school and work as separate spheres of your life. You come to school to learn and you study for the sake of learning. You should then focus on getting internships and work experience for the sake of getting a job later on. Completely parallel paths. If more college students knew this then there would be less people complaining about how “impractical” certain degrees are. In truth, almost every bachelor’s degree is impractical unless u plan on academia.</p>
