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

you're almost guaranteed a job somewhere

@Ruger thats just a communications degree.

for whaman

@Ruger I only did music because I wasn't good at anything else. And to be fair I make decent money from music.

@Tailed Feature I was considering a postgrad somewhere for singing but I don't have *quite* enough skill for it.

we dont really have "communications" degrees here i think

mate of mine from southampton has a job offer he doesn't need to finish his degree and he has a 40k starting salary straight out of uni

what a guy

my voice just isn't quite there though I make a solid choir singer.

It was voice that I studied. Then I got nodules. My voice hasn't been the same since.

shit really???

that's crap

there are ''jobs'' for gen studies atm with the outrage culture but anyone taking one now will end up working in retail within 10 years
