The most useless university degrees

I would speculate that close to 100% of the people whining about education flunked high school.

I'd bet against that. I would tend to agree with you if you said "dropped out of college, only had a few college classes or never tried to go to higher education".

While that video is pretty sad, he most certainly has a great point..

One of my daughters has a degree mentioned, a minor actually in communications-major in business admin.. Focus was on media.

After a few years of paying her dues & thankfully able to work from home she is working for Disney & Intel ~pretty nice gigs....:)

Of the rest I don't know but one actually working in the field of their major & she is very happy working for a theater company in Dallas but she isn't quitting her "day job"

Our observations about education tend to be skewed by self-serving prejudices.
I've never heard a Princeton or Harvard PHD go on about useless degrees.

On the other hand, some of the most sadly stupid people I've ever known--
not merely ignorant but actually stupid--
love to blather on about how "common sense" is more important than "book learning."

Am I alone in this observation? I highly doubt it.

Anyone who has a BA, MA, or PhD degree in English literature, philosophy, art history, et al. and pursued that education with passion and commitment get nothing but respect from me. And I was on the science track.

You are not alone. The people that tend to yuck it up about useless college degrees tend to be people who never graduated college.

Agreed. I haven't seen anyone with an advanced degree who lamented pursuing it.

Although he didn't say a Philosophy degree would be worth more, he did mention that the purpose of tech was to free people to be creative. An example was Joe's podcast; a creative career that didn't exist 20 years ago.

I'm fairly certain that talk shows existed pre-Internet.

You are not. I actually had a family member slap a book out of my hands, decades ago, and tell me that reading is for people who have no common sense.

Of course, because that is a course offered at all the libtard-infected universities in America. That's why foreign citizens flock here to attend them. :awesome:
