3. That was my degree focus, and it was well worth the effort

I've heard it disparaged sometimes as a thing that leads to no employment opportunities, but there is a great value in being able to think, write and communicate well, and to understand people and the world in general. I was working toward a masters in education before dropping it, as there were no jobs. But that was hoping to transition out of a blue collar job, and in the end I found my job was not so bad, and that what I learned in college allowed me to be much better at it.
