[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The university will matter for this degree. [/quote] Wrong. [/quote] No, they’re obviously correct that the university matters. With a major based on hard skills—engineering or nursing or whatever—it matters much less. An essential part of a history major’s education at Princeton or Bowdoin or wherever is the soft skill of being collegial with members of the ruling class —an experience less readily available at Oregon State (to choose at random a very fine school that is not terribly chic). And I haven’t even mentioned the reality of connections, credentials, etc. [/quote] This has got to be satire. If not... wow. I'm embarrassed for you. My DC majored in history at a state school and is well-employed. Oh, and he also uses his "soft skills" every day. Don't you fret.[/quote]
