What did you learn from your degree that's actually worth it?
don't trust science. i was a complete "i fucking love science" faggot before i went to uni. while researching a paper I came across this meta analysis where some statisticians ripped the means and methods to shreds of a huge swathe of papers showing statistical significance in outcomes for a certain type of chemo therapy. I started to get pretty good at stats and suddenly realised the under lying basis of the majority of hard science findings was based on statistics but no one writing the papers were fucking statisticians and shit was all fucked up everywhere. it finally dawned on me that fucking line you read in the newspapers "study finds XXX does YYY" is just complete fucking bait bullshit and even the shit you are learning in lectures needed to be caveated to fuck and back but is presented as an absolute truth. Fuck by the time I had started Uni and finished uni i think a major theory on geological plate movement had fucking changed. LIke the same thing I had learned from grade school for 12 years suddenly got thrown out the fucking window but no one ever said we aren't dealing with absolutes in the vast vast vast majority of the basis of science. I ended up finishing my bachelors in biology but by the end of uni I had found God.
You can prove or disprove pretty much anything with (((science))). See all those sports science studies funded by Gatorade that all concluded "Water doesn't work, you need Gatorade and you need to waterboard yourself with it when you're not even thirsty or you will die from heatstroke even if it's cold." Hell, I found a Harvard paper that said riding a bike is worse for the environment than driving a car.

so fucking little. i have a bs but i fucked up not simply doing comp sci.
I'm in my last year of accounting and I can confidently say that I really have learned a shit ton about business and why they operate the way they do. Truthfully that was actually the entire reason I wanted to switch to a business degree in the first place. Was tired of the media disinformation and social fud surrounding businesses and couldn't stand to remain in the dark when people would talk about taxes and markets, throwing out this jargon and that jargon.
I really do find it fascinating and I think it is worth it. I'm going for my masters next year also to get an even deeper knowledge. In my opinion, Finance or Accounting are the only two degrees that will teach you all the practical knowledge you need to know about businesses. Everything else is limp shit.
Accounting. Went to community college for a little over 2 years then transferred to a private uni to finish. Cost 45k.
You learn a lot as you pass through the classes but a lot of that shit went in one ear out the other. A lot of stuff I don't think I'll ever use. Most entry-level accounting jobs use shit you learn in prin 1 and 2, the first two accounting classes you take.
What did I learn that's worth it? Probably just how to actually look at financials and judge whether a company is worth investing in and obviously basic accounting/tax laws etc.
How to learn and apply said knowledge
Graduate Econ course last year... holy shit I was such a pleb before I learned about markets and human behavior... also my advice to everybody from any field of study: Learn statistics because that's the math that actually matters
