Firstly, common sense does not get you a degree. Some of thee stupidest people I know have all kinds of degrees. A degree is nothing more than a piece of paper. It does not show you have any intelligence at all. The degrees only purpose is to help you gat a job. All it can do is help. Common sense is more important than a degree.

None is better than the other. It's about the major you fit in. I'm not sure what specific technical background you have. Sometimes one doesn't have to choose which one you want, because one only fulfills the requirements for either, not both.

The best thing about a college education is that you recieve a wealth of knowledge and experience beyond what most people can teach themselves. Career wise you get a piece of paper saying your smarter than most people so you can get a job in management and opress people that may very well be smarter than you in reality.

As my mother says "Common sense has to be taught".  I disagree.  Common sense has a lot in common with instinct in animals. There is smart, then there is wise.  Having knowledge (book smarts) is one thing.  Having the wisdom to use that knowledge is a whole other story!  Common sense is the ability to see beyond yourself, gain knowledge, seeing a correlation between events, and use gained knowledge to reason out how to react to those events (driving comes to mind).  A surprising number of people lack this reasoning ability.  The result is thoughtless, inconciderate actions that hurt others.  This is true all over the world, not just in the US.  Lack of common sense is just a human condition.

Oooh, I really don't understand fully what your asking, but I 'll wing it.\nYes, most careers need more common sense than studying. \nThe common sense is knowing that when your working with electrcity not to wear jewelry, or when you are filing not to wear heels, or when you are a data entry clerk, bring a book to work. \nDid I answer your questions?

I got a BS degree and the whole point was to get a job that pays a lot more than without a degree. The drive was to never have to live paycheck to paycheck and to be able to have a very leisure lifestyle plus with a degree you get respect and a better class of job. More vacation, better benefits, an office, etc.

Philosophy is a joke of a major so you might as well do both. A dual major looks more impressive.

The type of degree you have is often irrelevant to your career path.  What is most important is that you have studied to that level and shown what you are capable of.  I took a degree in English and Archaeology but I now work in the public sector promoting languages and cultural skills!

A degree is always helpful...especially in English. A command of the English language can lead to many professions...as well as giving you proper tools to always be understood. For journalism, just add a couple of writing courses to introduce you to style and concept. Also...with a vivid imagination you can become a writer or novelist.

I'd suggest economics.  If you are not too far along in college, you could probably give up enough electives so the double major wouldn't extend the time it takes to get a degree.

Business is not a legimate undergraduate subject to study in college much less graduate study. This isn't because it isn't important but because that is something you learn by experience and using trial and error. You can't teach common sense. Some people are born with natural instincts for business.

A college degree of any kind isn't useless.

The best degree in Computer Science is NO degree.  In the US, the computer field is dead.

You can do anything you want.  College degree is proof that you are capable of learning and acquiring new skills.  Beyond that you have to rely on your work experience.

A degree is a piece of paper. To think it is much more than that is foolhardy. What is important is what you did to get that piece of paper.\n\nA degree is supposed to show another person that you know something. Whether or not they believe it is a totally different thing. Someone here in the U.S. may not acknowledge a degree from an American College.\n\nWhat matters then is reputation. A Harvard degree generally has more of a reputation than a University of Nevada at Reno degree, even though in some fields of study UNR may be better than Harvard.\n\nBasically, it all boils down to who you are talking to. Generally speaking, from what I have seen, degrees are universal, because knowledge is universal. Some subjects may not be transferable because of language issues, but those are the exceptions, not the rule.
