Most college degrees, unless they are career-oriented, are fundamentally useless.

@marineaqua Could you please give examples of what you would consider career-oriented degrees?

@iMystery Law, medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary science, forensic science, biomedical science, elementary education, secondary education, engineering, and computer science.

@marineaqua And which would you consider useless? 😅
marineaqua · 22-25, F
@iMystery Literary studies, film studies, performing arts, philosophy studies, political science, history, etc.

I forgot to mention that criminal justice is a useful degree...it pretty much leads straight to a career.

@marineaqua you can actually do more than you think with a history degree, same with political science.

@basilfawlty89 They're only useful if you want to become a teacher or professor in those subjects.

@marineaqua foreign relations, ambassadors, data analysts and diplomats are not uncommon jobs for both those degrees.
