College Degrees to Avoid

The problem with nonSTEM degrees for autistics

Is that non STEM jobs tend to be way too social for autistics.

At least, for me

High school diploma jobs have a lot of competition

Restaurant retail sales

Office, warehouse, manufacturing, trades ok



Although autistics with no degree isn't too great either

Non-STEM jobs do tend to be too social for autistics. Also, one usually has to network (it's who you know, not what you know) to get those jobs.

I agree that autistic with no degree is the worst...I can't think of anyone like that who isn't living with family and/or is on welfare.

While I am all about the non-STEM education, the statistics cannot be all that different because i do see so many people with liberal arts degree being unemployed or at least having to settle for lesser-than-ideal jobs

Or you could go to St John's College in Santa Fe. Or St John's College in Annapolis.

I have been teaching myself various database and data analysis software, though I wonder if it will be an asset considering it wasn’t learned in a formal setting.

GIS and urban planning are the only two fields that I know with certainty I am qualified for.

As someone who currently works at a daycare I agree aspies shouldn't be working with children.
