I cringe whenever I hear a college student say that they are majoring in journalism.

When I went to college (1980s), the two majors that did not require any math above freshman level algebra were education (school teaching) and journalism. The joke among math majors was journalism majors were dumb and didn't want to deal with children.

I got a liberal arts degree (BA, Musicology). I thoroughly enjoy the knowledge I gained, but it would have been basically a ticket to graduate school. After struggling for a few years I took a career counseling course and learned that musicians make good programmers, so I went into IT. Eventually got an MBA in the field.

Thanks! I got it from Bing CoPilot which rounded up a bunch of sites for me. The list I presented wasn’t from the first link.

I just did it again and it gave me a whole new list.

(what happened to nursing? The returned data depends on the exact words of the query. My earlier query was worded slightly differently, but I don’t remember it exactly.)

Someone just corrected me. It was Bananas.

Hate to admit I’m having memory imperfections.
Even .00000001% of Biden’s is upsetting.

Thanks Karen.

You are correct about that.

We are all journalists now, including everyone on Free Republic.

That's true. Plus everyone on TikTok and X.

Facebook and Instagram? Not really. That's the media controlled by the regime.

Now you see why they're going after TikTok?

I don’t understand why physics isn’t hiring, plus I think Americans need more English teachers. People have forgotten punctuation and spelling. Other than what autocorrect tells them.
