What did you major in? Was it poorly thought out from the beginning or did college admissions lie to you about job prospects?

I took an easy major to get a high gpa as I was trying to get into the military through ROTC and they care about your grade not your major. Then Obama got voted in on a platform of winding down the war, the ROTC detachments were told they could contract half as many people as they expected before the new president was even sworn in, and I got cut to graduate right after the recession with no real skills.

With the benefit of hindsight I could have done much better for myself,but I would not expect someone at that age to have the foresight to prepare for just how fucked your life plans can get
