Can you believe that? We have friends who’s daughter graduated from Michigan with a degree in Women’s Studies. They’re not happy that she can’t find a job besides a receptionist in her friend’s father’s car dealership. It takes all I can muster to keep my big mouth shut.
What did they expect? How many want ads are there for Women's Studies graduates? Maybe a few as HR people, as few teaching discrimination seminars.
It used to be that Liberal Arts graduates could go into management, back when the course load involved being able to read large amounts of complex material, understanding what you read well enough to generate a viable opinion, and write lucid essays explaining your evaluation and thoughts about the material, but that's no longer the case.
