You just spent 60 - 80 thousand getting that degree in "Women's Studies". Now, what do you do with it?

Question

Seems like a tremendous waste of money to me. For that same price, you could have gotten a better education and have a real skill that an employer would want.

Answer 1

The ironic thing about this is that seeing as the "wage gap" is actually created by choices women make, such as studying non-applicable disciplines, like Art or WOMEN'S STUDIES, then not being able to get as high paying a job when they graduate, students in Women's Studies courses learn about the fallacious wage gap and create it via their choices simultaneously.

I guess this is what they call learning to be a professional victim by practice.

Answer 2

Many people that get a degree in Women's Studies also have a concurrent degree in another discipline, such as medicine, nursing, law, social work, etc. It helps that person to be more marketable especially pertaining to gender specific jobs. A double honours in nursing and women's studies would be perfect for working with neonatal, ob/gyn, palliative care etc.
If you are so well educated then you must realize that the more specialized you are the higher your chances of decent employement.
I would query what type of job would one get with any Bachelor or Arts degree without some kind of back up plan such as teaching.

Answer 3

Write a book or movie about it,or join a rock band and make it a hit.The possibilities are endless,in the mean time there are a lot of jobs out there waiting to be filled.Find something that's fun
that way you'll have a good time and you get money too!

Answer 4

According to my trusty university calendar: "There is a demonstrated need for people with a background in Women's Studies to take up work in such areas as social services, education, policy development, welfare, health care, counseling and therapy, law, media, advertising, public administration, finance, and management."

According to the admissions handbook: "Rewarding Futures: jobs with victim advocacy groups, battered women's centres, rape crisis programs, human rights organizations, and resource centres as an HIV educator, cultural worker, human resources administrator, policy analyst, union organizer, community development worker, or counselor."

Either way, I'm studying communications.
