Bagger at the supermarket.

With an arts degree they maybe could work up to putting together the
display of this weeks sale items.

A Bachelor of Arts in criminology is useful; English literature not so much.

I could have taken a B.A. in Computer Science but I chose to take a B.S.
by (IIRC) taking extra math courses.

The devil's in the details.

My wife had a BA in art history but she followed that up with a MA in
library science. It worked out well for her. She retired as a curator at
Columbia University. She had a plan; I never did.

To what?

I (as probably 75%+ if not higher) had a very vague idea of what I
thought would be a kewl thing to do, but that didn't work out...where I
ended up had very little bearing on where I started; what I learned
later I really enjoyed (and was good at) I didn't even know existed as
an undergrad student or for several years later...

The purpose of a basic education is to teach one to be able to think and
reason logically; from there it matters little about what field one is
in to apply those precepts.

Certain technical or specialty fields do require specific
training/knowledge, of course, but there's a far wider range of possible
avocations beyond that what a degree is in has little bearing on the
ability to do the specific job.

It used to be that way.

Now colleges teach you to blindly follow whatever they tell you.
Especially if you take anything but technical courses like engineering
or doctoring.

If it opened the door to a higher education, that's fine. Most good
jobs tend to need the higher education. Our two lawyer sons stared with
BS's in business administration.

If you can cut it, I think STEM degrees are best and even then you need
advanced degrees. They open more pathways. I know lawyers with degrees
in science but know no scientists with degrees in liberal arts.

My first introduction to programming in college involved FORTRAN IV and
punch cards. I thought it sucked. Even then is was more 'here's a tool
you guys will probably use like a glorified slide rule' rather than a
separate discipline. A couple of my friends who did like it dropped out
and got jobs. Formal education wasn't moving fast enough for them.


It took about ten years before I started doing assembler programming for
the microcontrollers that were infiltrating industry. I enjoyed it and
still do. I certainly didn't plan that as a career.

I certainly didn't plan to get into education, that is for sure. I
wanted to do engineering. That pathway was blocked so I went into the
trades instead. Eventually managed to get into Uni in my late 20s but
still not in engineering - instead a career in technical education.

You don't seem to realize that a Bachelor of Arts degree is not
necessarily in a field related to the fine arts.

You can get a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics.

That reminds me of an old joke...

The guy with the engineering degree asks "How does this work?"
The guy with the physics degree asks "Why does this work?"
The guy with the finance degree asks "How much will this cost?"
The guy with the art degree asks "Do you want fries with that?"

The Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics is a libtard degree.

The Bachelor of Science degree is a sought after useful degree.

You can google up curriculum at the colleges and judge for yourself.
The BA requirements for chemistry that I saw at the University of
Delaware are not strong as those required for the BS. This might retard
the BA from being accepted in graduate school chemistry.

I suspect that either could get you in med school, law school or an MBA
program where a strong chemistry background is not needed.

There is also a matter of the school granting the degree. A long time
ago the head of the chemistry department at Delaware told me they did
not accept any chemistry graduates from certain schools.

Not bums but Jeff set the class curve so they do appear to be slackers.
