“ This would appear to be a good decision, give that the vast majority of the academic majors of not academic, and have nothing to do with civilization or any practice done within a civilized society.”
M hmm.
What will happen to our civilization?
I attended college and grad school from 2000 to 2007, earning an MBA.
In between business, accounting and statistics classes, it was a pride swallowing siege of grievance-reading, feminist hostilities and politics, and a non-stop battle to embrace victim/racial/sexual politics.
If I recall correctly, in six years of college, I was assigned to read Barbara Ehrenreich’s “Nickel and Dimed” no fewer than three times.
That said, fewer men attending college does not surprise me.
My son is currently a Finance major and advises, you can tell the quality of the class by the number of women in attendance with green or blue hair; the fewer in attendance, the more difficult and relevant to the real world the subject matter tends to be.
About 5 years ago my wife and I spent a day touring Lancaster County, PA Amish country just for something to do. We lunched at a Family Style dining place on a farm near Intercourse, PA. At lunch we were seated across the table from a black mother and son from greater Philly area. They told us they had just come from enrolling the young man at Stevens Trade School, which is near Lancaster. I highly congratulated the young man for his decision to learn a trade rather than chasing some ephemeral fantasy. By this time he’s prolly alrady pulling down $100K per year in the plumbing, heating and AC realm.
