Kind of my point. If Truck driving Jobs go away people will just need to get trained to do more valuable and fulfilling jobs.ddraig wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 5:20 pmTime to shed the "Degree is everything" mantra. Plumbers, welders, electricians, wood workers can all make triple digit salaries in the time it takes the average college student to graduate. Typically, those service jobs do not have any debt, too. So tell me again why I need a degree in History, English, Comparative Religions, or Basket Weaving. Read up on a guy by the name of Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame.
Not entirely true. Electricians have a very rigorous training, and sometimes years of schooling. It all depends on how up the food chain they want to go. And this is set by the unions....whether it's a union shop or not.ddraig wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 5:20 pmTime to shed the "Degree is everything" mantra.

I can't speak for plumbers, but I know welding also needs some schooling. I believe it's a 2-year degree at the standard community college, but that's a far cry away from $200,000 worth of student debt.
But there will NEVER be money in gender studies....unless you are the professor.
Also has a gender studies class, a science class on climate change (your favorite topic, I know) and a one credit class on Fridays on dealing with stress.
I'm curious: How much do you think a professor of gender studies makes? I don't mean a "superstar" with books and national attention. I mean the run of the mill academic at the run of the mill college. I doubt it's 6 figures.Walla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 9:21 pmNot entirely true.

Cal (Berkeley) isn't a trade school. Frosh don't need to take classes in their future professions. They need to learn to think and communicate.

Why do you think Tuition has sky rocketed. It isn't because the Janitorial fees have to mop the classrooms have gone up.gil wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 9:45 pmI'm curious: How much do you think a professor of gender studies makes?
