I regard most degrees as worthless. In ranking, journalism is below “studies”, as is amply demonstrated by reading the drivel hurled by our modern media. STEM is holding on, but ‘climate research’ demonstrates that the ‘tards are making inroads there also.
Agreed. And as a software engineer with a BS in computer science, I'm starting to see a divide among STEM majors and degrees. My son says that you can still get a CS degree in a state university with no woke BS (pun intended) except for the few liberal arts courses you take. This is just like it was when I got my degree (thought we didn't say "woke" then, it was "liberalism" and "atheism").
But if you get a STEM degree from a more prestigious school, or perhaps if you get a masters or PhD in STEM even from a not-so prestigious school, then you're more liable to have woke indoctrination even in your math and CS courses. I believe the idea is that those students are seeking government jobs or jobs funded by government grants, where more letters after your name combined with leftist indoctrination is more attractive to those kind of hiring managers. But for now, a BS in CS or engineering, etc. from a not-so prestigious school is still pretty clean from the woke cult and your hires will be trained in the skills you need from newbie engineers and programmers to give you quality work.
