What Degree Should You Actually Do?

This is a basic introductory course about picking a degree. It's not going to give you the answer, but rather, it's going to help you start asking the right questions before you commit to a five or six figure decision based on what some adult told you when you were sixteen. I didn't go to college. I sometimes wish I had. That's the perspective I'm writing from. Not "skip college because look at me," nor "go to college because everyone else did." Just an honest walkthrough of how I'd think about it if I had to do it all again. A few of the chapters are going to feel like they're not for you. The chapter for women won't apply if you're a guy figuring out trade school, and that's fine. Skip what doesn't apply, but I'd suggest reading anyway, because the underlying logic carries across. Think of this as a starting point, not the whole map. Each chapter ends with a poll and sometimes a reflection. Need more guidance? That's what the community is for!
