like i get people following their passion but anytime i hear someone bitching they arent making shit with high level or multidegrees i just laugh..... nigga you the one that decided to take x subject

@coattailsandbowties you can fucking do it mate

the world doesnt need music/fem studies majors

people bitching about not earning 401k with a gender studies degree <:GWqlabsKek:393085130219978752>

Ah, I mean at least the first is free. I shooting for compsci so it'll be decent paying but fuck me its hard to get into

Like every russell group uni is AAA

That's why I don't bitch. I just warn other people not to do the same, or if they're gonna do it, get a trade first.

How did you do two music degrees?

Computer science pays Very well

One in classical one in "popular".

Capital V

Aha

Where I live if you are in a specialised high school they take you right after it
Specialised in CompSci I mean

could be worse... you could have one in "performance art".

compsci CAN pay well..... if an opening exists and you have exp

its like engineering..... it CAN pay well.... if you take a shit job for 3-5 years for the exp and then go on to another company

could have a dance degree

unpaid internships also look good.

I did an Honours in popular music performance. So there's footage of me somewhere performing.

depends

arent music degrees like practically useless?

Dude, try working for Verizon

It's a bliss they tell

unless you wanna be a teacher/lecturer, pretty much

@Ruger unless you want to teach it, then yeah

music degrees are useless for getting jobs (though some more traditional music circles want music degrees like if you apply for an orchestra or some shit), but they are useful because they can be educational if you go to a really good music school

because music theory is fucking complicated

@Ruger Yeah, you have to take specific modules to become a teacher. And if you want to become a teacher you can always do a B Ed instead of a BMus/BA. What it *is* good for, though, is networking.

Yo dim, how's your crusade to kick the pills going?

music comes in at 4

@Based Rai well got withdrawals ATM

orchestras don't really want music degrees, they want conservatoire accreditations, which are different but technically at the same level as a degree @That one muppet slut w/ a guitar

art history at 3, thats a no brainer

psychology..... color me shocked

no gender studies 🤔

@coattailsandbowties Lots of my uni friends went to conservatoires after their Honours degree to do Masters etc. Many are full-time employed in orchestras etc.

Fight through em mate should pass @Dimorac

@Ruger it's a really big thing atm tho

In the UK with a compsci degree you can basically instantly get a fairly decent paying job. Then it goes up to higher with more experience. My current compsci teacher was making £100k/y but apparently it was draining
