How about applicant 3: “I have a degree in statistics from a 4-year university”. Why do you assume that the only degrees are in transgender studies? The departments of engineering, business, math, etc. are all full of students at virtually any major university ou care to name.
Good point. I was engaged in Internet hyperbole. "Transgender studies" was meant as a joke. I was pointing out that much of what goes on in college is a waste of time and money. But "much" doesn't mean "all." No offense meant.
