FR DOES seem to be obsessed with engineering degrees. But if you have no talent for that (I’m raising my hand) what are you supposed to do, LOL? I don’t think there is anything wrong with an English or History degree. It’s nice to talk to people who think WWII wasn’t fought in the 19th Century. But it probably will take you longer to get ahead - unless you can secure a job teaching or writing.

Thanks for your post #106. I, too, had no talent for engineering but that didn’t stop me. Of course, I graduated many, many moons ago (1966) when the degree actually meant something. I had a great career and today I’m happily retired with an income that means I have no money worries at all.

I can’t speak for today’s graduates, but apparently, so many of FR can...and WITH AUTHORITY!! They know. You don’t.
