    OUT OF ORDER

    Because they’re dumb and blindly follow the ideology that the school system shoves down their throat saying that they need to take out ridiculously high loans and get a degree in order to be successful in life

    most dont even want to study college and stuff but their parents order them to do so..

    i feel like its mostly people from upper middle class or wealthy families that do this s***

    they have a different view of college since they have money to spare, they view it more as a place to be enlightened or some s*** idk

    Maybe he finds that interesting, and wants to get a job in academia because of it, im in STEM and its overrated and you can only really get a job in stem with ur undergrad in Tech and Engineering. For some people they might just wanna do something that they enjoy instead of what pays the most

    Pays at all*. We’re about to hit a bad recession, that degree finna be even more useless unfortunately. Hope OP cousin ends up fine still.

  • Because they want to...?

    It depends what the liberal arts degree
    For example at my school I'm doing a degree thats essentially a mixture of Marketing/Web Design. I'm essentially learning front end Web Development but for some reason this is part of the liberal arts section at my school

    It all really just depends. I know someone who is a Social Work/ Spanish Studies major. She took the latter because she wanted to learn more about her ancestry/overall history. Sometimes people just want to do something that interest them

    That uni is so stupid and should really fund that department better. The things they can actually cover in that course is really beneficial.

    this tho. its not even a general non-descriptive major...the girl seems to have known exactly what she wanted to study

    folklore ties back into subjects like anthropology, writing or journalism, or even tying it back into academia and going further in studies for a masters or phd. i'd be more worried about a general history major with no focus

  • May 9, 2020

    liberal arts encompasses a lot of concentrations of study

  • It's actually extremely unfortunate how bad things have gotten in the US that college is looked at as only a means of getting a degree to get a job, make money, and then die.

    Most people I know who earned a liberal arts degree when on to graduate school and got a degree. Most became college professors or lawyers.

    Ummm are you asking why she studied something she was passionate about?

    The example in OP sounds like a pretty distinct study to me that was clearly picked for a reason. If the school has a program for it then its an option for a reason ..... not sure what this is really about. Why wouldn't you ask her about her post-grad plans?

    Hope she’s passionate about making coffee at Starbucks too then
