A degree in Philosophy needs to be added to this list. Then someone needs to make sure Traditio sees it.
A bachelor's in philosophy yes, a master's not as much since you can teach at the university level. That said, there aren't that many of those positions around.
Instead get an advanced degree in biology - specifically a background in animal physiology and anatomy. There are *always * openings for A& P instructors. Nursing is a great field as well, if you can handle it. And unlike the previous fields, there are positions available nearly everywhere immediately after graduation from a four year program. And if you choose to get an advanced nursing degree, there's also a shortage of nursing instructors.
I think people overvalue a university degree in general. Unfortunately some of my students seem to think *any* degree will help them, and just getting the degree is enough. Having a degree that's backed by a transcript full of Ds and Fs isn't going to impress a lot of employers that are actually looking for degreed individuals. People feel the need to accumulate tons of student debt just to get one of these four year degrees when it would probably be smarter to go to community college for an associates degree or try to get into an apprenticeship program.
I think one of our major problems in the USA is we don't have as much access to apprenticeships as in places such as Germany. Many of our high schools are also not preparing students for the job market or college and I think that's the larger problem.
In short, college can be very useful but if you're going into debt to pay for it, think long and hard about the field you're going into. Also if you're struggling with the introductory courses of the field you've chosen, you probably want to choose something else or quit before you accumulate too much debt.
