gender studies degree vs ability to operate a coffee machine
decisions decisions
I lol'd so hard.
college degree isn't worth much, undergrads barely.
It's people you know first, and then experience second.

I currently have a job as a mechanical draftsmen and layout designer for a conveyor belt company.
I have a Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, an incomplete law school education, and zero experience (prior to getting the job) in any related field such as fabrication, design, or assembly.
so i answer neither.
passing law school only brings debt, doesn't guarantee you will be a lawyer or make money.
That's what state bar exams are for.
e: part of being in a university, especially one that is famous for it's reputation, is to make contacts and associates (preferably with your professor/future mentors, ignore bball time with the fratboys)
Most people go through this misconception that simply because they went to a university they got something out of it, those people barely go to office hours or do any extra-curriculur movements towards their future career.
Job fairs, join apple pie theta, get in it.

generally the phrase "i'm not a good test taker" is scoffed at, but it's a real thing. Many college courses have boiled down to your grade subsisting of 3-6 tests through out a semester with nothing to bolster it. Even if "test taking" isn't the real issue, doing bad in a stressful environment is a real thing.
no one looks at your gpa, mine is shit and I'm doing plenty research.
Flesh out that resume while you can.
