Seems like that would be a pretty small niche when looking for a job. I know I haven't heard of any openings in my neighborhood. It may just be me,
but, I would have done a little career research before spending 96k.

You know, in the 70's that was the degree you needed to work in a record store.

Just a Thought
When you only advertise yourself only with your area of study (and especially in this case), you have narrowed down the job opportunities severely.
Transgender counseling clinics - how many places are there?
Not being sarcastic, but this is a very narrow niche.

Adding an MA from the University of Phoenix to her $96K BA would just get her a nicer sign.

Hello, baronvonbob
The sign holder is only talking the talk. There is no evidence of walking the walk.
The person you are referring to has been incredibly open and honest, to the point of being flayed publicly, about the transition.
I met Chaz years ago at his restaurant in Long Beach. He couldn't have been more gracious or kind. All he wanted to know was if the meal and service
were up to standard and it was.

Possibly even justify the cost of advanced education, I have put two daughters through College

The sign MUST be a misprint. What college is going to give a degree in such a narrow field, and find some one that will pay 96,000 for it? Maybe
P.T. Barnum was right!!!!!!

It's a fake, photoshopped with a "handwriting" font.
Nobody is that consistent with each occurance of the same letter with real handwriting (see the way each "t" is undersized, long dots for i", messy
base of the "s, casual "r", etc). Plus the perspective isn't allowed for.

BA is a general education with a focus. An education is different than "training".
A BA does not prepare anybody for a job....it just indicates an ability to focus on interests and gaining some knowledge in those areas....it
certainly is NOT a ticket for a job.
The sign-holder has not indicated their personal "persuasion"....just what they studied.
And who mentioned anything about Mr. Bono?

Just read an article that said the best and brightest of out youth are all flocking to Wall Street.
Sadly, that would make it appear that the folks most capable of solving social and cultural issues is instead selling out to work for hedge funds.
That, ladies and gentlemen is that real state of the US economy. Some geniuses in the business colleges, long ago decided that the US as we knew it,
did no longer have to exist. Manufacturing? Nah! Just sit at a laptop and play roulette with the financial markets.
On one hand, it would seems sad that this individual is probably in the hole for almost $100k for their college education. On the other hand, they may
have done better going to Wall Street.
But what does this portend for the soul of America?

Sadly Enough
I thing that this $96k is comprised of spending on video games, easily aquired credit cards, internet gambling and iPhones.
This is the result of s self-assuming, self-entitled generation.

You het the nail right on the head, Jan.
What kind of STUPID degree IS that? Did they expect to get a job with those kind of credentials/ Really wasted $96,000. Whose fault is that?

NCIS or SCI eyes at work!
In taking a closer look at the writing, I think you are correct in the assessment.

What has this to do with anything Baja-related?
This has been photoshopped and is a shoddy pandering dig at many people.
Tasteless post, imo, and clearly has nothing to do with Baja.
Would the original poster kindly take this down now?
