Reply #33: My major was psychology... [View All]

minor in English and sociology. I ended up being a legal secretary/paralegal for most of my life. I'm not sure if my education helped at all, really, in that department, but it didn't cost much to get a degree back in my day, so it probably didn't hurt either. I hate to be a cynic, but I sometimes have my doubts if the cost of getting an education these days translates to a comparable increase in earning power. My daughter, who is a lawyer in a big law firm in LA, is making lots of money, but is always broke. Her student loans are astronomical and she will be paying them off into her middle age. It's pretty sad.
