Students at AZ State Univ. demand Rittenhouse be EXPELLED.

So you see college as an apprenticeship for a future job. The fact is it is an opportunity to learn many things including history and Poli Sci. Being more worldly and knowledgeable is a merit.

Second to being employable and useful to society.

 

[Earl]

It's also because they give the person obtaining them education in things that are highly useful to employers and society after graduation.

Indeed, I agree.

But not as merited as degrees in science snd engineering...in terms of being employable and not a burden on society.

Anecdotal, but I know two women who have degrees in Psychology. One works as a teller in a bank, the other as a secretary in an investment firm.

Society has determined what disciplines are merited.

You mean a degree in Lesbian Dance Theory is useless???? Waaaaaaaaaa?

 

[Earl]

Or African American studies.

 

[Yakuda]

Yeah but an African American Lesbian Dance Theory Studies degree??? Now you got something useful.

In terms of knowing about the world, history, politics and writing. it is very valuable. Engineers are terrible writers. They are conservative, even right wing. That shows such a lack of knowledge.

Cite the evidence that engineers are terrible writers.

There are several engineers on this forum and I note no lack of creative writing ability. I had several professors who were published authors.

Being conservative or progressive has nothing to do with knowledge...it has to do with preconceived biases...not all but for the most part.

That's why they hire a liberal arts major at a fraction of the cost to clean up their writing. The engineers are too busy doing stuff that's important to waste their time making sure what they write is grammatically correct. Maybe that's why engineers invented spelling and grammar checking computer programs, so they don't have to waste money on a liberal arts major...

Your link is anecdotal and an opinion...not statistical evidence.

Logic is king for engineers...I heard that often at Vandy.

Your degree?

[T. A. Gardner]

When I was in college, there was an engineering joke that used a calculus expression--and integral to be exact-- that had the function of major with respect to gpa. As gpa went from 4.0 to 0 major went from science and engineering, to business, to liberal arts, to fine arts. I thought it was pretty accurate then and it's still likely very accurate today. The liberal arts side of campus is where all the idiots hang out.

 

[Earl]

That’s your opinion and of course it’s wrong.

You would have heard that logic is king if you had gone to a great university like Vanderbilt.

Indeed, the Suprene Court defends the Constitution...most of the time at least.

The Supreme Court has no authority to interpret or change the Constitution. They do not defend the constitution. They are an agent created by that constitution.

You stupid brainless liberal. The SC defies the constitution all the time . They did it in roe v wade and pleyler v doe. They did it when they allowed military drafts and ok'd obamacare.

 

[Earl]

Agree with the first sentence.

They defend deviations from the Constitution.

I hope you're right. I hope super-kyle bankrupts pedodent biden too.

 

[Text Drivers are Killers]

I'd say that's true only for the liberal arts and fine arts. Business, engineering, science, and related degrees that result in a BS, not a BA, still have much merit. But a degree in say, sociology, or one in gender studies is as worthless as tits on a pump handle.

Amen to that. Colleges should teach STEM Only. That also means no more sports teams.
