The most ironic degrees are in financing or economics where the kids leave school 100k in debt. What the hell did you learn??
How to win at beer pong, quarters and darts for starters. How to organize a giant party, attend said party, sleep 3 hours and ace the exam at 8am. And how not to do that. How to work full time, go to school full time and learn to somehow balance them both. One semester learned how to balance a ledger in accounting and how to balance multiple boxes 30 feet in the air on a forklift. Another semester learned how "life is not fair" from an economics professor (and ex-college QB) and how to work in a drive in sub-zero freezer and not get frostbite. Learned about "finance" (yep), statistics, finite mathematics (comes in handy playing cards), mountain climbing and landscape architecture all in one semester - while driving a dump truck.

Not to mention learned about Greek parties, dorm parties, 100 keg parties and the aftermath of those parties. Learned about basketball games where you screamed until you were hoarse - throughout the entire next day. Leaned that shucking oysters and tapping a keg with your buds is great on the front porch on Friday afternoons. And that's some of what I "learned".
