So, Your Degree Might Be Useless
But don’t worry; all hope isn't lost.
Hey, Workie!
Am I the only one who just can’t get over this whole secondary school bullying saga that’s been trending for the past few days? I personally don’t think anybody would’ve walked away from that situation unscathed if they’d slapped me like that, but maybe I’m just troublesome.
I just really hope the girl is okay.

Your Useless Degree Isn’t The End Of The World
First and foremost, it’s important to clarify that no knowledge is useless, and even if you don’t have the most employable degree, it’s not useless.
It’s not a strange experience to come out of university and realize that your degree isn’t the most in demand one out there, and that can be extremely scary at first, but the truth is, it isn’t the end of the world, and at this point, it’s basically a universal experience.
Less than half of graduates are working in fields related to their degrees, and if you don’t believe me, you can start by asking your family members if they’re using their degrees to make money, and I’m sure you’ll be shocked at what you find out.
None of this is to say that you shouldn’t want to do something with your degree, but honestly, even if you find making your degree useful difficult, it isn’t over for you.
It’s only over for you if you let it be, and there are actually a lot of ways you can still be extremely successful even with a degree that isn’t useful.
