Crisis of Self
Aug. 18th, 2005 08:10 pmEvery month or so it hits me:
My degree is completely useless. All it shows is that I've managed to bullshit my way through four years of paperwork. I can look at a novel, or a film, or an advertisement and say "hmm, I'll bet so and so is trying to say this..." but most of the time I'm wrong anyway. I have no marketable skills. I am useless.
Why did I choose to be an English/Communication major at a small liberal arts college? Why the hell didn't I do something economically viable? At least if I'd gone into art or graphic design I would have had a skill set. Which is a hell of a lot better than the big fat nothing I have currently. Oh wait. I forgot about the ridiculously expensive piece of watermarked paper still sitting in the Fed-Ex envelope it arrived in back in May. Yeah, I've got that. And that fucking tassel that makes everyone think I graduated from Oregon State. *sigh*
