-- Posted by dragonking at 12:48 pm on May 15, 2008 What's the point of having a degree in some thing if there are to many people with that degree, and you can't get a job in that field?  It sort of takes away the reason to even go to college if you wouldn't be able to get a job since to many people do that.  What do you think? -- Posted by RossTheHoss69 at 12:49 pm on May 15, 2008 Yes, it does make going into that field really pointless, unless you are extremely talented in that area, and could show a higher level of achievement. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 12:50 pm on May 15, 2008 It depends what your degree is in. It certainly can only help you achieve a better job. -- Posted by HatesYou at 12:50 pm on May 15, 2008 it's all about the demand of the career you choose... if there are a lot of people with the degree you speak of it's most likely because society is in need of these people and, therefore, jobs are waiting to be filled -- Posted by Darksouls at 12:52 pm on May 15, 2008 It depends what your degree is in. -- Posted by dragonking at 2:45 pm on May 15, 2008 Quote: from HatesYou at 3:50 pm on May 15, 2008 it's all about the demand of the career you choose... if there are a lot of people with the degree you speak of it's most likely because society is in need of these people and, therefore, jobs are waiting to be filled What if someone picked a degree because that's the sort of job they want and not because of their being a lot of jobs in that field...  Then what you said isn't true. -- Posted by HatesYou at 4:39 pm on May 15, 2008 Quote: from dragonking at 5:45 pm on May 15, 2008 Quote: from HatesYou at 3:50 pm on May 15, 2008 it's all about the demand of the career you choose... if there are a lot of people with the degree you speak of it's most likely because society is in need of these people and, therefore, jobs are waiting to be filled What if someone picked a degree because that's the sort of job they want and not because of their being a lot of jobs in that field...  Then what you said isn't true. if someone chooses to be an engineer, simply because that one person LOVES being tech savvy is quite skilled at it, but engineers are in high demand and, it is therefore, hard to get a job as one, you shall simply murder off all the engineers you are competing against. it's quite simply really. -- Posted by PimpMyHoes at 10:49 am on May 16, 2008 hmmm everyone i know is able to get jobs they want -- Posted by Is this you at 8:22 am on June 20, 2008 Quote: from dragonking at 2:45 pm on May 15, 2008 Quote: from HatesYou at 3:50 pm on May 15, 2008 it's all about the demand of the career you choose... if there are a lot of people with the degree you speak of it's most likely because society is in need of these people and, therefore, jobs are waiting to be filled What if someone picked a degree because that's the sort of job they want and not because of their being a lot of jobs in that field...  Then what you said isn't true. The number of places in colleges allocated to each degree is determined by the demand of labor in that area. So, in other words, if someone picked a degree because that's the sort of job they want and not because of there being a lot of jobs in that field, that person will or will not gain admission to his choice of degree depending on his prior qualifications.
