The number of students nationwide seeking four-year degrees in computer and information sciences and related fields shot up 34 percent from 2017 to 2022, to about 573,000, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. The English-major head count fell 23 percent in that time, to about 113,000. History fell 12 percent, to about 77,000.

GASP!!! What will the English Majors do??!! :cool:
 
I ended up with a history degree but only because during my political science degree all my electives counted towards it so it was only a few more classes to get that also
 
The WOKE Suicide Cult now going after STEM will solve this. Jordan Peterson says that there is no chance that the cult will not be successful.

In other words, they’re turning into trade schools

Colleges shouldn't be trade schools. On the other hand, maybe 20% of people really should be going to college and getting a degree. Another 30 to 40% should be going to a real trade school and getting trained in a skilled trade. The rest can go to some useless "trade" college where they learn such marginal and useless skills as taking blood samples, being pet groomers, or the finer points of bartending like AOC...

A college degree earns a person far more income over their lifetime, and it also educates them. Take a shitstain like Ronnie DeSantis, the man attends two very liberal colleges and now spends his time denigrating liberals. What an asshole.

But there's only about 30%, say one in three, people capable of getting one. The other two-thirds, like you, aren't. Then when you consider that say a third to half of those degrees are largely worthless, it's far more valuable to learn a trade and become good at it. Take a shitstain like you. I doubt you could become a master electrician. I doubt you could learn the math, memorize the masses of information used every day in that trade, and then develop the artistic and manual dexterity skills necessary to perform much of the work.

Instead, you ended up a loser in some coffee shop, without any really viable skill set who thinks that having a liberal arts--or worse fine arts--degree in something like art history or playing the bassoon makes you special. Yet, you bitch and moan when you have to call a plumber or electrician to fix something in your singlewide because you haven't got the first fucking clue about how the real world today works.

They are sure that they got educated when in reality space they got brainwashed into an inferior cult...they are so stupid that they dont know.
 
The insane shit you rightys type is amazing. You denigrate higher education. Add that to the rest of the things you constantly bitch about. You are confusing college with an apprenticeship.
