First of all, most conservatives who say “you should stop majoring in gender studies” don't realize that most people in debt didn't major in gender studies. Almost no one majors in gender studies, and blaming that for all of the problems with student debt and job prospects is just insane. Second of all, no one knows what major is considered “good”.

I am skilled in art, working with children, i can learn how to farm. I know that this in itself is contradicting because jobs are supposed to exploit us. But I am seriously asking because i need a change in my own material conditions like now. All the jobs I apply have job descriptions that don't match the pay and/or ask for too much out of one person. I'm barely hanging on but working these jobs, I learned I rather be unemployed and broke, than broke and exploited in employment. But, all i really want is to barter my labor ethically, and a job that allows me to pay my expenses, respects and gives…
