The college scholarship illusion

No you're not. You're caping for people to be getting COLLEGE-level majors in the humanities.
Beyond high school level...then coming back trying to measure their skill levels. Its assinine.
show me how to create employment from that linguistics degree.
Ain't.
Happening.
Its IMPORTANT in the realm of "knowledge" but people just majoring in it for the sake of it? Nah.
It doesn't help society as a whole. The returns diminish a lot sooner on that.
Again here you are with this bullshyt trope.
You don't know what I do or how much my trajectory is to make...so keep acting like you and I are on the same level or have access to the same opportunities.
If you're not even in grad school, don't talk to me because that undergrad level cog-sci degree is worthless BY ITSELF.
Cause without english majors that become teachers, book editors, publishers, and so on for various forms of entertainment and in education, ya ass wouldn't be able to read.If anything, we should appreciate those majors more and tell young people that it is possible for you to do anything and good opportunities for employment and ownership is possible. People gas up the hard majors as the ONLY way for you to make money in this country, which isn't healthy for the economy.
are you really speaking in hyperbole?
English...is important...but that doesn't mean all english students become teachers...cause that isn't true.
Do you even know the history of english education?
only a fraction of the very best get jobs anyways. They always do. .
Do you know how many mediocre students there are out here making in bullshyt?
The best of the best always find jobs. Thats why I don't even try to argue back and forth with ya'll dudes out here half-assing.
Go ahead.
This thread was about "scholarship delusions"...and ya'll out here trying to give people the encouragement to "do what they want" out here in the world and "employ themselves"
Thats not gonna happen with an english degree unless you hit the publisher lotto.
Its just NOT.
So you can keep all this "oh welll there are other degrees that can be used too" meme as if I don't see through it.
I'm trying to put ya'll on game. I write better than half of ya'll probably academically and I'm damn sure more versed in the humanities than most of you all...and thats merely from reading on the side and what I was exposed to growing up.
you got the nerve to talk about "ownership" ...LAUGHABLE.
What ownership? They can't even gain skills to learn something to grant them that autonomy in the future!
but yes. Lets have another communications major. I'm sure that does wonders for things.
WHICH STEM majors?
Cause as far as I'm concerned, theres probably a bubble in computer science, but definitely not in engineering math or medicine.
People go on to these STEM majors and predesignated jobs, only to be under someone else's control, instead of CREATING their own job. The system does not gear us to think with the mind of an individual out of coincidence. Napoleon is the extreme outcome of saturation, hyper capitalism and wealth inequality. Turn them into sharks and have them duke it out for the scraps
Guess what.
Most of the leaders in this world have degrees in engineering. If you really want to go there. Second comes business.
Why?
Cause they know WHAT and HOW to create.
They employ the rest of us.
You takling about "creating your own job"
...well stop speaking in vague generalities and tell me FUNCTIONALLY how all these english majors are going to be employed.
You majored in spanish but don't wanna work for the government or a major business? Well you need to double major in something else with some hard skills.
You wanna study anthropology? Well you better learn to code on the side.
WHAT.
CAN.
YOU.
DO?
dude thinks because he can quote last night's democracy now all of a sudden he's above the fray of capitalism and opportunity.
Please tell me what I do or what my trajectory is...since you claim to know...
And since you don't, i'd love to know what makes you think you're so "empowered" to be an owner with that u-grad cog-sci degree. If you're note even getting a masters right now or if you don't have any computational skills, then i'd hate to be you right now.
dude things he will be an asset to some other greedy ass human til the end of time
People better either create their own businesses or reform this countries way of doing business. If not, you should be prepared to get fukked. The writing has been on the wall for everyone
I'll keep repeating, Northern Europe has the right idea.
What do you think I do?
In my line of work, people are ALWAYS in need of my services...always
...but i'm sleep tho...
nikkas want everything on a platter.
Its levels to this shyt and if you ain't willing to work then you're in for a rude awakening. No one owes you shyt out here.
I never debated this, but to equate all majors and say that your asian studies degree allows you to make it seem like you and those applied physics majors can hold court...is absurd.
b-b-b-but colleges don't tell you how to make businesses! 
How you gonna make a "business" with that african american studies degree?
How many business niche's do you think there are
I know more dudes who started raw businesses out of high school as middle men selling parts than people with humanities degrees.

We need to push for more job opportunities...
...FROM WHO?!
...FROM WHO?!
B-b-b-b-but...why can't we go back to how the greeks used to study at college and pontificate in the shade in our tunics while eating figs and drinking wine and learn about knowledge for knowledge's sake?
You nikkas are the worst
They didn't even know how the tides worked.
...
"B-b-b-but plato!"

Nuh-uh. All we need is colleges to empower those religion studies and those classics degree majors to learn how they can start their own businesses
I love it. This dude's answer to rampant capitalism and what he calls "wage slavery" is...empowering more business-owners to start their own businesses...
...sounds like CAPITA--...
Listen very clearly, @Napoleon your job will be outsourced and archaic in 20 years. Your skill set that you think will guarantee a lifetime of employment will be useless in 20 years. You are nothing more than a temporary asset to some conglomerate. You are the house nikka who thinks they are letting him sit at the table when you will be discarded with the trash just like those who didn't learn a trade or get a valuable degree because you let the market determine your trajectory. Good luck.
This isn't true.
What are you talking about? When you get employed, what ever your job requirements are is what you are executing, correct?
It is in Northern Europe where their grade school students are more proficient than our students with Masters degrees and they have trade skills established by age 18. THEY EVEN TAKE CLASSES IN FINANCIAL LITERACY AND CREATING SMALL BUSINESSES AS TEENAGERS. Incredible, isn't it?
