which is my attitude about most college majors these days. One way to solve that problem would be for the government to forgive all education loans to people that get jobs within 6 months of gaining a bachelor's degree. No government agency job or government-subsidized job would count. You would see people absolutely RUNNING from useless majors. But, I realize that is only a dream.....
“One way to solve that problem would be for the government to forgive all education loans to people that get jobs within 6 months of gaining a bachelor’s degree. No government agency job or government-subsidized job would count. You would see people absolutely RUNNING from useless majors.”
I’m not interested in subsidizing ANY higher education today (after having to pay my own way 20 years ago). These majors will die off because the upper middle class and unassimilated lower class that took them can’t afford it any more - they know there is no future with the degree (outside of government work, which is out of money). I’d imagine those programs will be consolidated into an “unassimilated malcontent” degree.
When I was in school we had to take 3 credits in an “unassimilated malcontent” course (either ethnic or gender); to this day when the state college calls looking for money I tell them to ask “Professor H_” why I’m not giving. I’m glad the evil liberals in those areas are getting to see the traumatic failure of everything they believed in com to fruition; for a freak hippie she-professor to be on a campus increasingly surrounded by Arabs and Hispanics (the least gender-progressive groups around) warms my heart.
