unfortunately I made the mistake of going into liberal arts.. it was the 90s and "everyone is doing it". No one really cared about whether it makes you employable because jobs were in abundance as was financial aid.
Much like buying a house it was the cool thing for everyone and their mother to go off to college.
However a decade later I feel like I don't have "specific" skillset like engineer, scientist, doctor, lawyer, etc. but I simply learned to be a good writer in college. I have a hard time in business roles because I dont have the analytical background required. My first job required me to use Excel and I was like what is excel?? haha
If I could go back I would much rather go for something specific.. even if its an electrician. Its so much easier to market yourself when you're an expert rather than a jack of all trade, I've noticed.
