If you have a gender studies degree, you can go on to get a masters degree or a PhD and then teach required classes at a college. It’s a scam.
You could also become the diversity department head at a corporation or university. These people are not only not productive. They are anti-productive.
Our children and our nieces and nephews have heard about instant/expensive unemployment degrees while they were in high school.

So we have engineers, Rns, and other grads with real degrees not instant unemployment degrees.
All have gotten good jobs before they were graduated and most worked in the summers and during break time. That and a good degree enabled them to get good full time jobs.
He said they joke about all the wokeness, and they get briefings now and then, but mostly, they just fly.
Unless you get a degree you must have for a specific career you will be a barista or waiter. English, gender studies, sociology, etc are going nowhere job wise. Once you get a degree & a decent job you can dabble in those areas as you wish. By themselves they are a trip to nada.
College is just another attempt to delay responsibility of living on your own and working for living.
The money spent on college is enough to start a handful of small business franchise’s and by the third or forth time finally succeed.
Most the people attending college in the past 25 years have not had the actual educatonal Bonafede’s to gain entrance.
Once athlete’s on scholarship graduated not being able to even sign their names, it didn’t take long for the lack of education to mainfest itself in the like’s of that Dr. Gay at Harvard.
Most are lucky if they get past their indroctrination that tells them to “Do what you love” rather that work or performa job you don’t like.
It’s past time to kill the Dept of Education, ATF, FBI and Homeland Security.
It’s time for Trump to declare that the Federal Government will no longer back Student Loans, and that no banks in the Federal Reserve System will be allowed to fund them or work programs. Let the College’s fund the student loans and get Federal dollars out of Education.
Really?! You mean it’s hard to find someone to pay you for your expertise in Queerness in Shakespeare, or Systems of Oppression and Gender Discrimination in the Teletubbies?
There are no jobs for fresher engineers. They’ve been taken by cheap labor H1Bs.
because they had no business going to college to begin with! they accomplished nothing but wasting their time and racking up debt!
Sorry, but those women and minority studies majors will NOT help you in life!
And they effectively have middle school-level educations.
I’d like to see a comparison. I’m betting the trade school grads are earning big $$$ within a couple years of graduating.
You list the number one degree is in Business, and number two is health degrees. So what. No wonder we (The US) is behind with our graduates. We have students that graduate with a degree that will not move the businesses ahead as TECHNOLOGY moves you forward. STEM degrees, not generic degrees.
If a kid spends 2-3 years at a good trade school learning HVAC, welding, electronics or machinists skills, he can step into a high paying five figure a year job right after graduation if he did well in school.
I don’t ever remember even asking an applicant for a college transcript to verify their grades.
My son took a ton of advanced placement courses in high school and got his Masters degree in public administration and economics in three years. Now he’s making big bucks working for the Federal Government.
Congratulations to you and your son. I haven’t heard a story like that in a long time.
this is level 6...

Thanks, I didn't realize it was on Gutenberg. I saved it for later.
I have the original bound set, we used them some when homeschooling, but even McGuffey's was slightly "dumbed down" compared to readers and other school books from the 1840s and 1850s, which were what we mostly used.
My son is part of the statistics. He’s almost 30 with an economics degree and is working at Whole Foods. He got one off for a job in San Francisco, but it didn’t pay enough for him to live there.
I think he kind of shut down after a while. It’s hard getting ghosted and rejected.
Thanks! I’m very proud of him. He also earned a bunch of scholarships so he’s not too deep into debt.
I was in school in the 1980’s...the only kids that got internships were minorities or kids who had families with pull.
In high school, the dumb kids got out of school early to go to work...quite a disadvantage for the smart kids.
Maybe supplement the economics degree with some accounting courses, and go for a job as a bank loan officer?
