...equipped with a degree in history and $32,000 in student loans.

Paid more than that for one of my cars, and I wrote a check for it. You should have gotten an engineering degree. But, had you done that, you wouldn't know all about how the evil capitalists in the United States are racists and thwarted marxist socialism utopia. Well, go eat crap, you pathetic pink-o.

Oh, that's awesome!

“Well, go eat crap, you pathetic pink-o.”

What follows is the lament of a young, conservative history professor.

So many on this site tend to view education as field beneath them. Fine.
So these folks tend to denigrate those of us who work in education, social sciences, etc. The problem with this is that this tends to shift the ideology of the social sciences to the left, that is, smart young conservatives who listen to your advice will only chose degrees that lead to financially rewarding careers, rather than face the challenges of a demanding but not particularly financially rewarding profession.

So then we end up with history departments like mine, where there are 3 Communist, 7 socialist, 2 Anarchist and a token Republican. And my friends on Free Republic wonder why academia is infested with loony liberals.....

If this young man were willing to work, he would find a job. The fact that he didn’t get a degree in engineering, law or business is the least of his problems.

But go right ahead, mock teaching, make fun of “stupid history majors”, the university system, the social sciences, etc. And you will continue to surrender academia to the left.

For me, I’d rather encourage young conservatives to teach, research, write, and retake our education system. Even if that means they can’t drive a car as cool as you...
