I want to respect bag chasers but so many of U miserable losers seem miss out on any kind of human experience lol

Yeah man that sounds all good and dandy. But you’re not gonna be saying that when you’re $80K in debt and can’t even find a f***ing job because you “didn’t want to assimilate into the capitalist hivemind”.

Not true. You’re forgetting about all the blue collar degrees.

Lmao shut up

Lol no counterargument just “shut up”

You know on the inside that what you’re saying is nonsense.

thread seems to be sh*tter than the typical college thread

A lot of the degrees y’all say are useless need to be backed up by your own work/portfolio to be actually useful

this aint an argument lmao. nothing you said is an argument

F*** yeah

English/psychology double major worked out well for me because so much of my teaching job involves me doing social work in some form or another. 67k with great benefits and I only work 190 days out of the year.

100%

Know so many people who graduated with degrees in poli sci, phil, sociology, etc. and make great money. They grinded in college, did internships, took courses outside their requirements to learn marketable skills (data science, econometrics) or used said skills as part of their research during undergrad.

On the flip side I know a lot of people who did 'marketable' degrees and struggle now because the job markets for STEM are insanely saturated and it's hard to set yourself apart. No degree is a silver bullet to 'making it'.

why tf else would I go to college?

Lesbian dance Theory

warm enough for me :)

the kinda response you'd expect from someone with CLB in their name

you'd expect it from anyone who plans out their life. a degree is meant to help you in finding a job

its all about feeling superior for some ppl

the conception of education as motivated by profit seems like a modern, neoliberal one. I think it's good to take a step back and consider what is the purpose of education. If you have a certain career in mind then that's great, but sometimes even knowing what you want to be requires education in the first place

why do you even argue with synopsis at this point lmao he's clearly a troll

I'm done arguing, I'm in it for the laughs

Whenever he has comments like those he's getting hit with that for dummies book

the people saying otherwise are clouded by privilege

the internships and work experience is what gets the gig tho. Studying in stuff like poli sci doesnt make much of a diff, most of your friends who did ended up law school or HAD to take those extra courses anyway. and one could study history and get the same education poli sci offers if not better.

i dont see the problem with this thread if op is asking in good faith tbh

like yeah college system sucks and education is commodified to s***, but if im shelling out thousands a year I want to know which degrees are getting me returns
