I went through undergrad as an anthropology major because I like that stuff, and still read up on it during my spare time, I had no regrets in college because I received a quality education on the subject chosen by myself, not future employers.
then of course I had to go to grad school to land a job...that was a bitch...

not at all... I'm just being realistic. You said it yourself, that you had to go to grad school to land a job. For some people, a BS/BA is hard enough.

starts the show off with... a song
"What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?"
Plenty of people equate having a degree with a job a job that they can use their major and yes, there's plenty of jobs that pay well that don't require a degree. I'm in one of them because well I have no degree, but I do have 5 years of college that I did attend, I'm probably just shy a handful of credits.
