People believe a college degree secures your future. This increasingly false belief makes a lot of people a lot of money. So why wouldn't they? It's a commonly held opinion. It's also a status symbol.

I say this as someone who was a STEM major, I have never encountered more dry and miserable people than the ones in STEM. For too many, their degree is a means to an unrealistic end and so the way they carry themselves lacks a lot of truth and genuineness... to themselves and to others. And it's not exactly hidden well either.

Something that STEM majors also don't want to admit is that a lot of them lack the ability to think abstractly and critically about art, even if they try to seem cultured. Studying the arts, like any other degree, is hard work if you intend to do well

Making fun of anyone doing a degree in the arts is incredibly f***ing lame

It’s funny

avi? 👀

because mom and dad paid for their tuition

Dead ass they just wanted that college experience and had false dreams that things would work out. Or they didn't actually realize how s*** works in the real world.

College is GOAT though, regardless of the outcome, your time at a University will easily be some of the best times of your life

Feel bad for anyone who doesn't get to experience it. You don't even need to go to a big 10 party school either, colleges all over are lit

People with liberal arts degrees fuming itt

They wanna go to college but they dont wanna learn s*** tho dont knock art and design s***

Tbh for a lot of employers who don’t require a specific qualification, the attraction of a degree educated candidate is the ability to successfully study to that level, and the subject can be irrelevant.

That’s not to say ofc that loads of employers probably look down on those type of degrees

Well, I wanna be a teacher and imma be paid s*** anyway, and I'm good at English and wanna specialize in creative writing. Will it work out? I don't know, but money ain't too important and I love writing.

The only thing that makes sense about this degree is if her networking skills are fire and she wanted to learn and get a job that pays well in a different field.

Once you get your degree it's all about connections anyways. Everybody knows you aren't learning to work from day one in college. You're learning to be trained.

Yeah but get your teaching certifications while your in college. Do they're tutorials and get set up with a professor as an assistant. So you can have something on youre resume.

You'll also have to take a test in order to become a teacher.

I'd recommend getting your masters and specialist degree early. My family are teachers and getting it early earns you more money in the long term

Sometimes a degree (no matter the major) is used as a tool to simply get your foot in the door. I have a film degree but work for a biomedical company and def wouldn’t have this job without a degree on my resume

Why do colleges provide these types of classes in the first place

The college where my professor graduated from completely got rid of the liberal arts portion from their uni

community college is like a cheat code tbh

Because schools have a massive vested interest in making people believe that they need to do that
