Better toilet paper: Charmin or my Bachelors degrees in History and Linguistics?

Question

I got my minors in Dutch and Sociology. Will they come in handy while I am flipping burgers?

(BTW - I loved school because I studied subjects I cared about instead of what will make me rich, so spare me the lecture).

Answer 1

The Charmin is better, if only because it cost less per sheet. :grins:

Like you, I majored in something... edifying, rather than directly applicable to a career field. And like you, I'm glad that I did. I've since learned that, unless you want to enter a career which requires specific training, like engineering or nursing, it doesn't matter to most employers what you majored in. So long as you got a well rounded education, they'll have just as much respect for your degree, and be just as likely to hire you, as me with my sculpture degree, or my husband with his theater degree, or my friend with his biochem. What it really boils down to is what you, personally, want to do for a job, and making sure that you get some internships/co-ops/work experience that is somewhat applicable to that possible career path.

And BTW: the Dutch could come in handy if you were to flip burgers in the Netherlands. So... what are you doing right now? Did you recently graduate (within the last 6 months?) If so, then contact your old school's office of international student exchanges. You qualify to do a work exchange, for up to 9 months. Go to Aruba, or the Netherlands, and flip some burgers!

Answer 2

Well, I'd say probably the degrees, but the Charmin lasts longer.
The state of the union nowadays, the linguistics studies may come in useful while you're flippin' burgers (Love the humor of this by the way).
In how many languages can you say "D'ya want cheese on that?"
Suggestion: look at teaching? With a shotgun approach to studies like you've displayed, I'm sure you'll do well, at least academically.

Answer 3

Hahahahhaha, that's funny. Dude, at this point, I suggest you get your Master's so that you can become something. I know a lot of college graduates with a degree in History or Psychology that don't go anywhere. In order to actually do something with those degrees, you have to get your Master's.

To answer your question, Charmin would probably feel better as a toilet paper......good luck!

Answer 4

Hey, use the Charmin (I thought it was Charmkin, but I'm a film grad so I can't spell).

Roll up some "dutch" in your degree and enjoy some "sociology" time with your friends in Amsterdam. :-)

Seriously though, that's a great degree for doing market research. I also know a cop with a similar degree (he doesn't "sociology" much anymore with his new job).

Answer 5

Well, I guess it's the wake up call. Out into the REAL world you go!! Being rich is what matters out here. You can find something dude, it doesn't have to be flipping burgers and it doesn't have to be taking part in a foreign committee working with the Dutch either.

Answer 6

Charmin is worth more, at least it has the softness to not irritate the butthole. I hear that philosophy and feminist studies degrees are also pretty absorbent, though.

Answer 7

I think you should be commended for acquiring your degree. However, I sure you heard through your undergraduate studies that acquiring your graduate degree will open more doors. You may want to sit down and decide exactly what you want to do and proceed from there.

Answer 8

Yes
