Do you think it is fair that some degrees aren't worth anything.
My situation:
I went to a private college and paid $26,000 to go there. I recieved a 2 year associates of science degree in medical asstisting. When I went out to work they were only paying around $8 to $10 dollars an hour. When I was in school I learned to do many things such as Phlebotomy, EKG, Catheters, Vitals, surgical procedures, admin, pharmacy tech, all sorts of things.......... I don't feel like it is fair. $ 8 dollars an hour is only a little more than min wage which is $6.40 an hour. So I am not in that field and I found another job working in an Engineering office making lots more money with benefits. But I guess the only thing I can be happy about is I wouldn't have got the job if I didn't have some sort of an degree. but now I'm stuck paying this money and not being put to use. Do you feel like certain fields are under paid? I feel like I was ripped off!!!!! 2 years of my life and LOTS of hard work for $1
