Date: Jan 13 2006 Major: (This Major's Salary over time) My college was not very connected to my professional outcome. When I graduated, I spent 6 months searching for a teaching job! Mathematics is a needy area in education, but my degree seemed worthless. Texas Tech University should have emphasized the worth of working while in college. I did not, as I was studying very hard and graduated in 3 years. But, had I known that experience is as valuable as a good GPA and a diploma, I would not have been in a hurry to graduate. Texas Tech has never asked from the day I graduated what I was doing. They seem to be able to call and ask for money, though! Of course, I donate, maybe my money will be put to their career services.
