I did this graphic based on information from the statistics department of the government of Brazil
On th x axis is the number of years of study, and the y axis the monthly minimum salaries, on yhe values the amount of people who responded and what category of the two it belongs. The graphic dosen’t really show us something like unemployment rate, bug it shows a clearly positive correlation between years of study and income. Pretty sure this is repeated everywhere, not only in Brazil.
That depends a lot on what your degree is and how well you sell it’s relevance pst graduation.
Indeed. It has a lot to do with that and about a dozen other things. Degree. Job field. Connections. Experience. Personality.
I have a general comms degree and an MA in digital media. These degrees and my job field are extremely broad, so I have experience in loads of different things. As such, I can apply for any job from digital marketing to public relations to a press officer and have a shot of at least getting an interview. I’ve never had a shortage of knowing people in my industry who would be willing to write me a letter of recommendation or give me a referral where they work. I’ve gotten one of my colleagues hired at two separate places that I have been a manager.
But to add on to that, I interview well and have a very relaxed and jovial personality. I work well with others and make friends easily. I can’t count how many times there have been interoffice issues where an independent consultant had to come in and mediate or get to the bottom of an HR problem and it would turn out that I’m one of the only people in a division that not a single person had a conflict with.
Hey, look on the bright side. You’ve also involuntarily entered eternal indentured servitude in order to pay interest on your student loan debt so that the federal government can make money off of your daring gambit to pursue higher education.
No, I’m not bitter, why do you ask?
Then the University goes: “You wanna teach this same course to another generation of suckers? Great! Let’s start with this pyramid shape”
I get the sentiment here, but “opening doors” is a little more nuanced and complex than earning a college degree in a random subject.
I’ve seen people with PhDs unable to find work, and people with no degrees at the top of a company.
Life is interesting like that.

My man must have gotten a degree in “Night Hearing” from the University of Phoenix
