| So bizarre to care about other people’s career choices and such pathetic trolling. |

Nothing is wrong with that career choice. It's just that those kinds of BS majors should be removed from Universities. Colleges and Universities should be places for serious academics. |

Yawn. The arts have been part of higher education forever and educated, cultured people understand why. |

Things like communications, psychology are good for minor. Colleges should offer classes on those, but those are good for minors. |

STEM has got to be the dryest, most dull group of subjects ever. To each their own. |

Not a fan of overspending for majors that won’t pay off, but CMU is at the very top for CS and anything engineering. Not sure this take holds water. Look at outcomes. |

Universities were founded by and for wealthy people, who are you to come in and say that they should change? what do you think- the great unwashed attended university? the whole point of scholarship is to serve the intellectual needs of those who don't have to work, its not a trade school, you don't go to university or college in order to learn a trade primarily, that is a byproduct. I say this as someone who has had independent wealth until my parents generation and women in my family have never worked outside the home unless it was a passion project like medicine or art whilst all having at least a bachelors degree for most of the 20th and 21st century. So we spend tons of money educating children who are never expected to earn any money, you sent your children to school so that they are not uneducated. even Bertie Wooster went to Oxford and got a degree. I understand the world has changed and higher education is now available to a greater amount of people from all sorts of backgrounds but I don't think it is fair that the history of these places as an escape from world of commerce and a haven for the intellectually curious should be whole taken over by those who need their offspring to be capitalistic drones plugging away at some pointless commercial enterprise. There should be a balanced you also have to realize, not everyone is in the same financial situation as you, the American middle class has been hollowed out, most people are either working class and should only go to college if it is what they really want in order to realize a life that they think is within their grasp which is becoming increasingly difficult and then there is large percentage of people who are actually quite comfortable and can choose to study whatever they wish and aren't in any urgent need to choose a lucrative field. Of course you might not believe that this should apply to CMU which was funded to minister to the needs of ordinary people who needed to learn engineering or some other trade but it is silly to extend that to all universities. |
