Ha! It means Capitalism is alive and well ... the survival of the fittest is part of the free market system. Being unwilling to be productive within that system isn’t the systems fault .

I suppose i didn't realize we needed to study Genders. There are only 2. Men which are easily understood and Women which we are better off not trying to understand. Those dear women, the most lovely, beautiful beings.

@Reverend Yeah, no. All your credibility is shot 🤷‍♀️

@DaySpider Sorry to revive this - but forgot to point out an important detail. Even if you want to pursue the question of relative validity, etc - you’re still past “there are two genders” and moving towards “two genders is the best setup out of many possible ones” - and that is obviously not the same thing.

@QuixoticSoul Even if it might be.

Kids shouldn't be allowed to pick those screwed up majors,
MarineBob · 56-60, M
@daisymay pick their courses better
daisymay · 51-55, T
@MarineBob Yes, yes. We get it, you're a bad citizen and not a patriot.

@MarineBob [quote]why letting kids pick a career in something they can't work in[/quote]
Are you confused about the difference between a major and a career? Because I have news for you - hardly anyone pursues their major as a career, and this absolutely goes for the "good" degrees too.

From example, from OSU's physics department's page:

[quote]It's important that you understand the career options available to you as a physics or engineering physics major. Common job titles for physics and engineering physics bachelor's degree recipients include:

Accelerator Operator
Applications Engineer
Data Analyst
Design Engineer
High School Physics Teacher
IT Consultant
Lab Technician
Laser Engineer
Optical Engineer
Research Associate
Software Developer
Systems Analyst
Technical Specialist
Web Developer

Half of those don't even have anything to do with physics - and that's pretty normal. Finance companies also tend to be stuffed with physics majors.

You undergrad is rarely about your career, that's not the point.

The average salary for Gender Studies majors is $77k. That’s below my standards, but quite a few people would call that decent.

Lawyer Andy might have some cause to sneer at that wage - but the average rightoid is way more broke. The average American is too.

@QuixoticSoul What feelings? Avg salaries don't tell you how many Gender Studies majors don't find jobs in their chosen field which seems to be the genesis of this thread.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@eli1601 Your obvious feelings (and that of others here) that gender studies majors are useless or incapable - the market says otherwise.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@eli1601 Outside of professional degrees, most undergrads don’t choose their major to get a career in their chosen field - especially as a good number of those fields require PhDs to pursue professionally. Your average Physics major isn’t angling to be a physicist, and your average History major isn’t trying to become a historian.

I feel like a lot of folks don’t actually understand what undergraduate education is about, or its role in one’s career.

You’re probably also confused why the the best major for someone looking to become a lawyer is not criminal justice - but philosophy.

Anyway, the tweet says *decent* jobs 🤷‍♂️
I can teach you gender studies right now.
[b]Look at pants see a bulge - its a man [/b]- your welcome - you make pick up your diploma after your 25 dollar processing fee.
@Reverend I knew what gender was when I was 2.

@MarmeeMarch me too, but we are noth wrong according to this bunch.
