I was happy Creative WRiting wasnt in the mix. Breathing sigh of relief for my two dd's.

 

I know its probably nbr 11.

Probably because undergrad degrees in Creative Writing aren't common enough to be counted for stuff like this. Most schools that I know of only offer the MFA.

 

And yes, I would have majored in Creative Writing as an undergrad if my uni had offered it. :)

The lady who used to cut my son's hair was an RN who had quit nursing because she makes more money as a barber. My uncle's wife is a computer engineer who now does eyelash extensions because she didn't like the high-stress environment. The guy who runs the surf museum in Hale'iwa is a retired Colonel, who didn't want another "real job." We know another Colonel who retired young but went to work driving a forklift because he said "he never wanted to make another work-related decision."

 

When I was a server in a restaurant, I worked with a guy who quit his job as a psychologist and waited tables instead. When I asked him why, he answered, "When I have a bad day here, maybe I spilled something or got a bad tip. When I had a bad day as a psychologist, somebody committed suicide." At that time he had been serving for 3 years, and was perfectly satisfied.

I have two degrees (undergraduate and graduate) in social work. I knew before I clicked on the link to the article that social work would make the cut for least paid. Fortunately, I didn't go into the field for the money. :001_smile:

at least they will be happy, if poor. They have passion for what they want to do with their lives and they also intend to go on for masters which should help.
