“2 of the police officers charged with aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd were previously students in the Sociology dept. at the University of Minnesota.”

I don’t usually talk to graduates of the University of Minnesota Sociology Department, but when I do I say, “I’ll take fries with that.”

Many of the IT guys I worked with had social science degrees. I had assistant head of computing who had a PhD in Psychology, co-workers with degrees in sociology, humanities and English. Good friends of mine who graduated from the same liberal arts college (philosophy, French) are now successful programmers and IT salesmen. In my last position, the fellow two levels up didn't even GO to college (he was IT department director at a regional bank). A couple of my friends left college early (psychology and theology) and are now programmers (one is with Microsoft, another is with a well known pro-life organization). My own degree is in political science.

There is NOTHING wrong with a good political science degree, and there is nothing wrong with thing of college as more (or different) than "job training".
