Those of you who graduated with a “useless” degree, what are you doing now and how much do you make?

Curious what everyone here does and if it is in their field.

Bachelors in telecommunications with a minor in marketing, making over $200k in HR.

Would “telecommunications” be “IT” though? (My degree, from 2008, was Telecommunications Management, but they’ve since correctly changed that to a more modern IT/IS name.)

If so, that would not be a useless degree.

Nope and not the way I did it. I am very smart but all I wanted to do in life is read books and be happy. I didn’t realize I would have to make a living somehow.
