I hope your coworkers listen. Thanks!
Yes.
On the American taxpayer and every serious university student. Getting a worthless degree, by simply having a pulse and attending classes is the biggest joke on the very concept of "education."
You got any logic/geography/physics, magic magnetic stuff...religious stuff...that makes THAT happen?? LOL!!
If you do...I want to know!!! HAHA!!!!!
Some do....best I can tell.
FRegards-
“her scholarship on black women’s hair.”
Speechless
So I guess when I told my academic advisor / one of my professors when he suggested I go for a PhD in History “Thanks, but I have no intention of joining the academic priesthood” (thus pi**ing him off royally) I was ahead of my time.
Create social unrest for the rest of your miserable life.
Sort of like "community organizers."
Well maybe at one point my BSME earned me 6 figures... but not now. Not even close.
The average Ph.D. in history needs to study Ray Kroc and the history of McDonalds.
They are already useless... they are actually worse than useless, they are scamming grant money that Fedzilla throws at them for useless research that aims at harming taxpayers.
Yeah. Now that you mention it, the only reason I remember reading about that incident anywhere at all, was Freeper thread posted by a "local."
As with everything else, ignorance is always a self-imposed life style.
Zero information ding-dongs are the new "normal."
Leonard Hofstadter, Howard Wolowitz, Raj Koothrappali, Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler are all looking for a tenured position at the university.
I bet Penny has a better chance of getting one.
Unfortunately, many of us lack the head for STEM careers. Sociologist Charles Murray mentioned a growing "cognitive elite" -- those who are adept at computers & technology, those who aren't. Those who aren't are going to have a terrible time in today's market, and a terrible future.
This doesn't mean that we should pursue a useless degree, either. The lack of jobs should give anyone pause before writing a dissertation on black women's hair. I predict, anyway, that the importance of college will decrease; a liberal-arts or Ivy League place will (or already has) become the haven of kooky trust-fund kids -- those who virtually do or study what they want, without having to worry about making a living.
