Those of you with a “useless” degree, what do you do for work now?

Hi /r/jobs,

I’m in my mid 20’s and graduated 4 years ago with a sociology degree; I picked soc because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my future but I liked the topic.

After graduation, I went from applying to jobs related to the field- data analysis and research. Nothing. I’ve been working mediocre receptionist gigs since and haven’t been involved in anything soc-related in years at this point because I’ve given up. No one knows what soc is anyways and all I ever got was ‘lol no wonder what do you even do with that degree’ comments from peers and coworkers.

So, who else out there feels like they have a useless degree? How did you dig yourself out of that rut?
