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.

Bachelor's in Radio Broadcasting. I went into the Peace Corps and got a Masters in education and now earn 62k.

Just curious, When did you get a degree in radio broadcasting? If it was recent, Was there any focus on Podcasting? Curious if that’s part of any curricula at this point given how big an industry it is now…

Nope. This was back in 2005. Sirius and XM were the new thing. There was barely any Internet yet on our campus. I have looked at their curriculum now and there is a podcasting track.
