Congratulations to him getting his degree, but I would say it's safe to assume that his work put in on the football team and his ability to balance football with academics will be much more beneficial to him finding a job than his arts and sciences degree.

Not knocking the guy by any means, but just curious what kind of job prospects there are for someone graduating with this type of degree these days?

Ridiculously stupid post. I graduated last year with an arts and sciences degree and am now in med school. Do you have any idea how many majors at UT fall under that college?

EDIT: Specifically my major was Microbiology

His ability to balance football and academics will help him get ahead in life and keep his job; the degree still gets your foot in the door. Which door? IDK

My degree is in advertising and I never got into advertising. It's about work ethic, responsibility and networking along with a degree.

I'll eat some crow here, but I would like to point out that I was merely asking a question and not knocking anything.

I think the knock came from stating that an arts and sciences degree isn't as valuable as hard work.

First off, its not like the two are mutually exclusive. A lot of people who work hard can't get arts and sciences degrees. I'm also pretty sure you wouldn't say the same thing about the college of engineering or the college of business, when in reality a lot of people in A&S at UT are as smart and successful as the best in other colleges. Making a blanket statement like that can be offensive to a lot of people. There's also a ton of variety in the college of Arts and Sciences (from STEM fields to classes, thats why its titled Arts and Sciences)

that being said, I probably overreacted a bit

Good luck Jaron and thanks for giving your all for UT.

Not sure why he wouldnt stick around and play special teams or just be a leader but to each his own. I'm not the one having to dedicate so much time and my body to football so I cant really criticize him for his decision.

To whomever started the transfer thread, here is your answer. Not transferring, but leaving.
Best of luck to Toney though.
