Bkmrk.
Yes, that can work if you don’t have a degree in women’s studies or ethnic studies or any other of the degrees that fixate on social studies. But even then, you may find a position mostly in government or corporate human resources.

Who is Petersen...?
Professor of Clinical Psychology at University of Toronto.
He is the leader of the front line against Liberalism and postmodernism in universities in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
His new book is a must-read.
12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

Can’t recommend Peterson strongly enough. Have watched his Maps of Meaning, and Personality lectures, and many of his other videos.
Get your kids to check him out, too.
Jordan Peterson is a joy to listen to. One of his priceless admonitions to all is to “go fix something”.
He means “YOU go fix something” and he does not care what it is - so long as you are fixing it as opposed to waving a placard demanding that others or the government fix it. He cites the example of the young man who was troubled by plastic pollution in the oceans and so developed a solution that paid for itself, i.e., a machine that ate and recycled plastics from the massive gyres just off the major rivers of the world.
I have ordered his new book for my 3 kids.
Why we’ll always have Bangladesh
No matter how much income equality there may be, there will always be a bottom fifth of society. Always. So we (THEY) move up the asset-held level to whatever that bottom fifth’s assets happen to be, creating a new ‘poverty line,’ which doesn’t ease poverty but merely redefines it.
The only way to eliminate poverty is what communism advocates, but does not attain, by keeping everyone at the same asset level. The problem with that is it destroys the incentive to perform, and the free-riders will dominate until no one has anything. That’s just human nature.
Rather than deny human nature, Marxists opt to change the nature of humans, achieving Utopia. That’s where Soviet Man comes in. He’s had his hard drive reformatted and loaded with Utopian software. Except the Soviets had sixty years of indoctrination without achieving Soviet Man.
They would have been better advised to use a little ju-jitsu and use man’s desire to get stuff (Greed is Good or at least can be harnessed.) to let him make money and take a little of it for governance. But of course, that is capitalism, which didn’t fit Marx’s narrative. Why we teach his idiocy in college illustrates the desire for Utopia by those to whom history is a blank slate and their ever-recycled conceit, “This time it’s different.”
Don’t take poverty away from poor folks. Good lord, man, it’s the only thing they have!
Thanks for posting the links to Jordan Peterson’s YouTube lectures and interviews. Peterson is a role model for academic honesty, damned smart and probably one of the foremost teachers of ethical behavior on the planet today. I’d suggest all Freepers watch his lectures, beginning with the one explaining Marxism and postmodernism in layman’s terms.
