Today, I found out that the money I spent on a very specific degree was wasted, because apparently, I don't qualify for a job at the place that told me I had to have that degree. FML
Education is never wasted. A lot of the credits you took are necessary for all courses. Go for a different degree. It won't take as long as the first one. Good luck.
Maybe when they said "sorry, we don't hire anyone who doesn't have this degree" what they really meant was "EW, there is no way we will ever hire you".
