What does a degree in gender studies even mean? History of feminism and that kind of stuff? they let you get that as a major? Like, not as, dunno, an option you get to do for history or human resources? Guys you pay for college down there, why are they playing you like that
So, what can you "do" with a B.A. in Women's and Gender Studies?
Here is a partial list of the kinds of things our graduates have gone on to do:
publishing/editing political lobbying naval service public relations filmmaking psychology divinity school medicine law and social work business sales/retail nursing technical writing journalism education administration investment banking substance abuse counseling yacht club director software engineering public health/public policy public policy/politics graduate school in Women's Studies consulting international NGO's
This list proves that after you get your gender study degree, you can start over and retrain yourself for any job since you'll have to if you want an actual job.
Reminds me of a woman I knew long ago: Gender Studies major. Got a job she could tolerate about a year after she graduated. Kept trying to finagle that job into something she actually liked. Got fired for doing that. Went back to school to learn something else. Found that it had a long list of pre-requisites that she didn't have. Spent 2 years trying to get the pre-req credits. Fluked out of the first semester of her program because she hadn't learned the pre-reqs, just how to pass the tests. When it came to mastering the pre-reqs, she was lost. Now carries almost $100,000 in student debt. No job. No prospects. Parents alienated. Working as a barista. Interest accrues on the student debt.
I'm assuming it's a comprehensive list of any job found by any graduate since 1982. Exactly one person went into yacht club directing. No data point is too small for a list of gainfully employed gender studies grads.
Wait I actually forgot that wham you chose a degree after high school you don't always start with the field you're gonna end in. Isn't it? Like 3 years and than you can go to law school and stuff? American education seems complicated Edit: thanks for the link!
Law school and medical school only. They require you to have a bachelor's degree, but they don't care what it's in as long as you got good grades. Which is stupid. Four years wasted. In engineering, your undergraduate degree absolutely has to be in engineering to go to grad school.
That seems alien to me. I mean, here, they are some of the most difficult fields to go in since you start law and medicine right after high school and have a numerus closus. Medical school requires you to pass an exam and only a few percentage are allowed to access 2nd year (the exam also determines which vast specialty you'll enroll in). It's not unusual to see people retake it 3 times.
Pretty sure it's the same in law school to become judge or so.
Some specialties in other fields allow you to access after university but your degree must be related to it in some extend.

Sure it is. Hope you enjoy your exciting future as a barista. Now, repeat after me: black coffee, three ice cubes. Don’t forget it.
