    Cause when I die buddy. You know what's gonna keep me warm? That's right, those degrees..

    They’re useless. Med, business, engineering, and comp sci are useful

    I think it might be in hopes of getting a job in a field they are passionate about

    Oh yeah I heard that there are a ton of jobs in the field of European folklore

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

    Faxxx its so hidden and it's weird. Any time I tell someone about it they dont even know its a thing here lmao

    Might just be me but I feel like a lot of the material they teach is somewhat outdated in terms of coding stuff

    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

    In stem u gotta have some math and or programming experience these days

    I wouldn't say it's overrated

    I’ve genuinely always wondered about this. Why would you spend 4 years of your life studying something like liberal arts and have thousands in student loans when you know you will not find a job afterwards. Like, it’s nice to study something you’re passionate about, but you can literally learn it all with the internet. What are these people gonna do after they degree? Why would you go to college and have to go through student loans if it’s not to make sure you have a good job in the future? I’m confused fr

    You have better chance at working at Goldman Sachs or McKinsey & Co. with a Harvard liberal arts degree than you would a finance or comp sci degree from flyover state university

    yeah but also if you work at those places you also have to be a massive piece of s***

    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.

    these ppl dont realize law schools love liberal arts degrees lol

    You can't learn it all on the internet

    I think people need to ask different questions

    why are we in a society where people aren't free to pursue their passions but instead must force themselves to get some STEM or finance degree in order to have an acceptable role in the hierarchy?

  • May 9, 2020

    I mean most jobs don't require a degree anyways so the whole system is f***ed

    This gonna blow y’all minds, but there are other reasons for choosing a degree path other than the prospect of a job’s estimated salary that is usually less in reality than what you see on those career websites anyway

    Yeah but who actually knows what they want to do in high school

  • May 9, 2020

    There are liberal arts majors that are more worthwhile than others. Everyone seems to clump them together

  • May 9, 2020

    best move is to go to a 2 year for free or cheap as possible than transfer to a 4 year to finish bachelors. Most cost effective option

    But f*** gender studies degree seems pretty f***ing pointless tbh, unless someone who majored in it can give me a fresh perspective and change my mind lol

    Salary is directly correlated to importance of service rendered

    STEM / finance degrees teach you valuable skills that are highly sought after in companies

    It’s only natural

    Oh no it definitely is. They should be teaching more frameworks and things of that nature. I definitely recommend supplementing the curriculum with personal learning.

    Exactly.

    It’s all about demand.

    The demand for jobs that involve stem degrees is higher than someone with an English degree. Just the way it is
