srsly. way to devalue a bachelor's degree, american society 9_9 LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 31/05/2010 08:07:47 AM
Although even IF you go on and get your master's and PhD in humanities degrees...what can you really do with them except for teach those classes?

One of the stupidest New York Times articles I've ever read Tom - 30/05/2010 03:17:03 PM 1163 Views
Added to which she sounds like a spoiled brat Wibble - 30/05/2010 03:46:06 PM 856 Views
I think she's still slightly below the national average. Tom - 30/05/2010 04:26:16 PM 629 Views
I am uncertain if she is working full time. cmdjing - 31/05/2010 12:57:29 AM 718 Views
Have to agree here ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 30/05/2010 05:54:54 PM 632 Views
It's a column, not a real article... and it's more critical than you suggest. Legolas - 30/05/2010 04:02:26 PM 641 Views
No it isn't. Tom - 30/05/2010 04:24:20 PM 664 Views

I'm going to guess that wasn't very nice. Legolas - 31/05/2010 12:11:43 PM 626 Views
Subject was Akkadian, body was Sumerian. Tom - 31/05/2010 02:27:24 PM 573 Views
Here's the saddest part ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 30/05/2010 06:10:48 PM 720 Views
Very bad life planning, and sadly, it's not an isolated case. Tom - 31/05/2010 04:01:46 AM 584 Views
Same. Humanities, while necessary, are something of a luxury given the numbers. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 07:35:25 AM 339 Views

100% in your camp here. LadyLorraine - 31/05/2010 04:35:45 AM 545 Views
I don't see the point in a humanities major if you aren't planning to get more than a bachelor's. Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 07:41:40 AM 746 Views

I have a BA in English Literature. Rebekah - 31/05/2010 11:20:28 AM 670 Views
that's fair enough, since that's why you took it LadyLorraine - 31/05/2010 10:20:36 PM 618 Views
Heh. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:30:53 AM 578 Views
I think you mean "the government acts all brokenhearted about the amount of student debt." *NM* Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 09:38:38 AM 362 Views
Heh. True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:56:09 AM 234 Views
That's kind of a weak reason, though. Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 11:11:49 PM 570 Views
I'm pretty sure I didn't use that as my reason... Rebekah - 31/05/2010 11:15:32 PM 589 Views
That's true, although I don't know how many jobs that's useful for. Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 01:20:29 AM 563 Views
That's fine. And I didn't go to Uni to get a job. I went for the education. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:29:28 AM 757 Views
I want to make clear that I, as a humanities major, really do like the humanities. Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 09:37:39 AM 744 Views
I know. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:55:41 AM 670 Views
If we're going down that path, though... Legolas - 31/05/2010 12:17:49 PM 704 Views
