I'm in my last year of college and for some reason, I decided to design my own major, and I feel like I made a mistake, I'm looking at jobs RN and feel like no employer is going to understand it at all. And that I don't really have much in demand skills? (FYI - it's a BA in community development, so kinda like urban planning but more expansive, my major Combines Social Work, Business, and Sustainability)

In y'all experience, does a college major matter much in the long run?

The first thing anyone should do if they're in business for themselves, as soon as the money becomes available, is hire an accountant and a lawyer.

Those are the only two industries who know how society really works
