The problem isn’t that she majored in Sociology. It’s that she majored in something without having any sort of plan on how to use it.

I majored in Liberal Arts. My dad, who was an industrial management bachelors with an MBA MADE me perform due diligence in high school on getting a politics sci degree that he was going to help subsidize.

After a bit of research I told him the following: my preference was to go into policy analysis, but I was going to take a lot of political campaign management classes (emphasis in management) and could also pursue a law degree when I graduated even though that wasn’t my first option.

He was satisfied with that. I ended up futzing around with policy and campaigns for a couple years, but when I didn’t go anywhere I pivoted into an MBA ... Which turned out to have a LOT of commonality with the campaign management stuff.

This twit apparantly did nothing of the sort, simply choosing a major that interested her without knowing what she’d do with it.
