[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Undergrad nursing degree is lowbrow. [b]Basically the more immediately useful the coursework/the more it specifically prepares you for things you will literally be doing in your job ([/b]assuming your job is not academia), the lower-brow it is. Computer Science degree where you do a ton of theory and math: highbrow. CS degree where you get really good at coding: lowbrow. Then we get into countersignaling, which is a whole ‘bother ball of wax. [/quote] I would agree with this, but I've often wondered, how did Engineering, Architecture, and Computer Science bypass this label?[/quote] Because nursing is a female dominated profession. Men typically pursued Engineering, architecture, CS, etc. [/quote] Nursings also fall lower in the "status" totem pole than doctors in their workplaces. On the other hand, the top people in the architecture profession are trained architects.[/quote]
