It depends how well-planned you are. The only degree that wont get you a job is one in English. If I were an employer and an English Major handed me a resumée, I would throw it away and spit in their face for being such a burden on humanity.

If you want to get a degree in something other than Law or Medicine, plan ahead and don’t expect a six-figure salary. You’re planning for a job you love, not a career or bling. Also, consider going for your PhD. If you’re already doing a fun degree (for lack of a better word), you really want to be a specialist anyway, not a dabbler.

I have a Master’s in history, and I make a pretty decent living scouting for local tourism (I never did the history of this region in school, but they trusted that I understood methodology and how to find places, facts and such). A few of my former classmates work in the archives of various small museums. The pay is shit, but it’s fun and better than being a wage slave.

And if you don’t mind leaving the country, most Good ESL schools prefer people with a degree, any will do. It’s the choice between working in some slum school and having a fancy-ass payed apartment and expenses. Not so much in Asia, though, as in Europe.

In retrospect, I think some of my job-finding on degree-alone success might come from living in a thriving rural area. I quickly got two qualified jobs with no experience in the field, but I live in a small town with a good tourist economy. So I change my advice: When you get out of uni, move to the middle of nowhere. Anyone with a even a six-month diploma can get a job out here. Don’t know how you city folk do it.
