Sorry, got NO sympathy for any of you unemployed n1ggas with "art" degrees

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

you nikkas act like stem majors are the goat

but when i tell people i'm a math/physics major y'all look at me like "you want to be a teacher or some shyt? "

Their ignorance isnt your problem

Math majors make bank.

how are the schools not at fault for giving students the opportunity to take these courses? Nobody is going to be an art major, if there is no art in the curriculum to choose from...

hard work is not predicated on a major, hard work is based on whether you have work ethic or not.

if the schools are the ones with the information, why dont they inform their facuty that certain majors are useless? why dont they hold seminars telling students they should focus on the sciences and math? instead of the other useless majors? why arent there more efforts from the schools to cut down on irrelevant needs to the current society?


they are the ones at fault for producing the medium...a human being is wired to gravitate to their comfort zone...no one should be surprised a person who likes art wants to learn art, especially if its compared to organic chemistry.

Exactly. People love their humanity and their personal interests. Many of these STEM majors may as well be robots cause they have very little human traces left in them. Most of the East Indians and Chinese who work in those subjects look like they traumatized. Few love computers and IT subjects, but no one should be forced to take it solely for the money or career choices. Cause they gonna be working for something they don't like for 40-70 a week till they die.

We need to find a perfect balance to it. Humans are not supposed to be rigid beings and sacrifice their humanity for a little bit more money.

The rate of college tuition will eventually stop this ridiculous inflation once jobs that don't exactly require a college degree are in demand once again.

The problem is that people still feel like paying damn near $500 per credit is worth it for EVERYONE. That is simply NOT the case as there are SEVERAL ways to make wealth in this country

Its like the real estate bubble that is about to burst.

I've been tellin nikkas this

I go to job fairs all the time where recruiters want math majors, but when I go to lectures/conferences with a bunch of engineers and tell them I'm a math major, they're like . And then when I tell them math majors can get decent jobs in industry, they're like, "Sure thing, buddy "

The sad thing is, even a lot of math majors think that way.

I don't hate STEM at all. I just don't advocate the saturation of the job market with mediocre graduates. You should be happy about that. It keeps your wages and opportunities high.

Your "path of least resistance" argument is outdated. You can barely get a decent career opportunity with a "relevant" degree in this economy. This isn't the 90s where any degree = cushy corner office. People aren't out there wasting money on Antique Art degrees in the numbers you suggest. Now Business Admin degrees? Political Science? Yeah. And those aren't artsy fartsy degrees either. It's elitist to categorize MOST people who pursue a certain degree as lazy or taking the easy way out. Sitting through art curriculum would be extremely draining for me.

People don't understand that. Also, for any program to be successful, they need to be better professors that are more tolerant and can break shyt down for anyone to learn it. Knowledge is worthless if you can't make regular people understand what you talking about.

Plus oversaturation of STEM majors will lead us to another lawyer situation in America: where too many people of that profession drives down the wages and prestige. There has got to be a more effective way to teach people these subjects, cause the old standard of "learn it yourself" isn't gonna cut it anymore.

Dude... science, technology, engineering, medicine, law... in terms of future growth, which one would you say does not belong with the others?

Can you present a scenario in which any of those fields would shrink to irrelevance that wouldn't involve the apocalypse?

 

[Mowgli]

If you arent getting money with you're degree you are just trash at your skillset. I have no degree and im pullin in that 6 fig.

Law is irrelevant?

Law is irrelevant?

Who the fukk said anything about relevance?????

What is your problem with me? Its clearly not with what I'm saying

 

[yoyoyo1]

They made art degrees for people like you.
Colleges found a way to make money off people who have no business being out there .

Not everyone is capable of that. Not everyone is meant to be in IT or science. Only a handful of people have that natural talent and maybe a few more are determined enough to learn it without blowing their brains out from constant stress. Plus many of those teachers can't break it down the info they each, which makes people even more stressed.

Most people of our parents generations were not any of those. Problem is, the economy restricts us to do something that they don't genuinely like that they can live off of. If you can make money off of hobby that you like, you actually never work.

If you work in a job that is hard and you can't get a grip of, you hate it, no matter how much money you make.

You can go into a lot of STEM fields w/o necessarily getting a degree. You also don't necessarily need to be a huge math geek. Science is pretty cut and dry. Technology encompasses a lot though. You can work in manufacturing, you can work tech support, you can do admin etc. M Engineering is also pretty cut and dry and debatable as far as ancillary stuff. Medicine is a no brainer. Everything from billing admin to radiology... opportunities in that realm are fcking endless even without a degree.

The game is changing and we need to adapt. Every major industrial development, people were screaming the end of days. But time and time again we managed. This time I really don't think its any different. Theres a lot of opportunity, people just need to adapt to capitalize on it.
