[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pp who posted that a CS degree guarantees a lucrative job while a religious studies major will be unemployed is dead wrong.

A degree in gender studies from HYP with great grades, projects, internships etc. will virtually guarantee a lucrative career. Whereas a CS degree from a no-name college and middling grades will probably get you some sort of job but a career that goes nowhere.

The major means little. It’s the intelligence, initiative, diligence and ingenuity of the student that determine how successful a person will be in his or her career.

The GOP wants cogs, not independent thinkers because when people learn to think for themselves, they often move away from the GOP. I know I did.

The GOP has a fundamental belief that people are rich because they are better people. They do not want to share their wealth with the poor because they think the poor are less valuable humans, responsible for their own poverty.

That’s a huge generalization, but based on my experience as a Republican and with other Republicans, that’s generally how people like Betsy DeVos and her ilk think. That’s why they don’t see any point in educating these “lesser” people. Why throw good money after bad, they reason. [/quote]

That says more about Harvard, Yale, and Princeton than it says about Gender Studies or religious studies as a major. We are comparing majors here, not schools. The world runs with both kids of people: cogs and free thinkers. The cogs ensure that the process we have put in place works well with consistency, and the free thinkers are there to explore and create new things. One is not more important than the other, so lets not cast people who are different from you in a derogatory light. I think Jordan Peterson actually has talked about this concept:

You can agree or disagree with Peterson's observations but it does at least sound rational and logical to me. [/quote]
