Why hateful against a college education?? Naysayer..
I may be wrong here--I often am--but I do suspect that a majority of these Freepers who condemn certain students' majors--have never seen the inside of a college classroom.
I base this upon the complete ignorance of their posts. They believe that unless your major is in engineering or some such "practical" subject, you are worthless in the job market, notwithstanding the fact that a college education confers upon students the ability to think rationally, write well, read comprehensively, and the overall "polish" that one receives, all valuable skills and personal presentation that a good college education confers upon an individual.
All the attributes above explain why the well-to-do traders and other personnel on Wall Street may well have majored in English, British literature, etc.
No, they think of college as a form of trade school and unless the student studies something they can relate to outside of welding and plumbing (and it seems that "engineering" is the "other" that they know of that's taught in college), it's no damn good.
