And Uzique, I don't pick on peoples life choices except when it comes to people who major in things like EngLit and Sociology. Don't get your knickers in a bunch.
i had the opportunity to do law at a top uk university but didn't want to because my friend who took a first in jurisprudence from wadham said it was the most soul-destroying experience of his life. so i guess my life choice sucks, seeing as i'm really enjoying my university experience, and his was great? okie dokes. yet again you know better than everyone. i should just move to the butt-end of america, take an engineering degree and hang out in the academic melting pot with you and macbeth
Nah, I'd never want to be a lawyer. I've always been told it's not worth the money.
I keep telling you, engineering was the correct choice for
me. It's not the correct choice for all. My complaints about certain degrees are simply complaints directed at the expectations that people have in regards to their education. I've known many, many people that hold degrees in English and outside of the ones that went on to teach, none of them are working in their field of study. Hell, my girlfriend was an English major with a minor in Journalism and now she does online marketing. She found work but her degree is almost entirely useless to her in the real world. All it did was allow her to pass the barrier to entry into the corporate world. The lack of education in math has really handicapped her as well. She has to come to me for shit as simple as doing percentages.
I bash Liberal Arts educations simply because people come out of school expecting to make $50k+ a year when the reality is far different. Heightened expectations when all they did was spend four years and tens of thousands of dollars expanding their high school education. The entire degree system as requirement for entry is absurd. Lazy HR departments and marketing on the part of the college industry has made it this way and there is no reason for it to be so.
