Why do millennials major in useless subjects with no job prospects such as Art or Gender Studies?
>>
>>70290865
Because they were coddled as kids and have no concept of hard work for reward, they merely expect the reward for nothing and piss away their time attending college for no other reason than the social experience.

I'm not a Millennial, but what you're saying is there are engineering, math, science etc, and all of those classes are empty, because the humanities building is full?

Young people have been taught to push back against the idea that a person has material value or worth. Instead, they believe value is intrinsic and "doing what you love" is the highest goal, superseding any sort of practicality. Why develop skills when you believe that?

I almost studied creative writing at University, as a kid I thought I would somehow be part of the 0.0001% of writers who becomes rich and famous, not the other 99.9999% that gets a job as a barista or high school teacher, I'm thinking most students of Art have similar delusions. Thankfully I got good enough grades for med school so I did that instead.

Gender studies are a bit different, it's useless by itself but most people who do it then study law or some sort of social science and then get decent paying jobs

Not all millenials, my cousin, she's a maths teacher in high school, same age as me (22). I'm unemployed tho, because I'm rural.

In college, this is a bullshit idea. All the stem classes are in auditoriums and the humanities are getting cut left and right. I am at a school with 25,000+ undergrads and there are 70 philosophy majors.
>>
>>70290865
You can get a design job with an art degree if you're good.
Gender studies is useless in and of itself, those """people""" don't realize what they're doing, but there's a couple options. If they want to follow the narrow path into academia anything goes. Law school's also open to them, med school just cares about your science pre-reqs and MCAT, an MBA is possible if you get two years of work in and do well on the GMAT, etc etc

Because education used to be a thing to strive for. But the classical liberal arts education is long dead and I don't think can ever come back due to the marxism that infects academia. The idea of "I GOTS TO GO TO THE UNIVERSITY TO GETS ME A JOB" is a pretty recent development. Education for its own sake, to create a man capable of rational thought, free and critical thinking and superb debating was the point of education.

These people literally do not understand how the job market works, how much you need to make just to live/eat, and what exactly they can do with their degree.

I did a project on this a couple years ago and interviewed people who were graduating with useless degrees (music, art, ect. ect.), and they simply did not understand how the world worked. I asked them how much they think they were going to make, and how much they thought a rental, a car payment, groceries, and insurance would cost.

You know that quote
"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."?
Well guess what generation we've hit. They took it too literally and now they expect the market to provide a well laying wage based off brainwashed 'learnings' that they indebted themselves permanently for.

Of course it was. And I wouldn't be surprised if most of the students were female. Women in their twenties love majoring in psychology because it gives them an opportunity to say "Well, I study psychology" during a debate about literally ANYTHING.

What do you mean by "Art", art is broad term you moron, you are obviously thinking about degenerate hipster art, performance art, modern art bullshit that is useless.

Graphic design, concept design, CAD, 3d modelling, animation, car detailing etc. ala people who actually have skills they can use and not some retard that can't even draw circles that post shitty artwork on deviant art for attention.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about fatfuck, how many chink rats do you think make your shitty anime girls or those furry pixar movies, videogames etc. etc. almost every kind media needs art of some sort.

Because they are easy.

The majority of the millennials I know, want everything to be easy.

I picked a hard major and adapted, mathmatics, bio and chem, forensics.
I choose those because they were hard for me, and would change me for the better.

Now bushiness classes I found absolutely boring and would hate/cheat doing them.

Give me some science or hard tests, and I can be challenged. Everything else is easy.

And business and law are boring.

to be honesto,

we were fed horseshit lies from High school and through college that our degrees didn't matter and that as long as you follow your passions the money follows.

while not entirely wrong in regards to how a degree determines what job you can get (I've known people with anthropology degrees get jobs at Fortune 500 firms in finance), the whole idea of 'following your passions and the money will follow' is total bunk bullshit.

>>70290865
because from a young age we had college drilled into our heads. That we needed college or we'd be flipping burgers. What's that? blue Collar industrial jobs? that's for squares. You want to be the next Bill Gates right? Go to college and you'll be rich.

But Colleges themselves do very little to actually set kids on a proper education path, and just let them do what they want. It's something I noticed when i first hit college. From Grade School to High School, it's all very structured and controlled. you take these subjects and learn these things, and you get a high school degree.

But College they just toss you in and let you have at it. After having been "processed" in a school system since pre-k, the freshman college student, unless they know for sure what they want, has no clue what to do. "Oh, I like history" so they take history and become a history major. Without ever being asked, "what are you going to do with that degree?"

Colleges will let you get a Gender Studies degree, and that's part of the problem. They will allow you and encourage you, to get any degree in any subject, regardless of how useful it actually is.

TL;DR since young, millennials were brainwashed to go to college, but turns out Colleges are a joke and cant into proper guidance and career counseling.

Also it's because their parents told them they have to go to college so they chose the easiest subjects.

I study at AGH in Krakow, so all the available subjects are science related and somewhat relevant. The one exception is acoustics. The people that study acoustics know they won't find a job but they are having so much fun. They don't have to study, they make music and party all day every day.

Star Gender is a gender that can be broken up into 3 different definitions:
1- The first is simply having the gender of a star.
2- The second is “an other-worldly/non-human gender” which is likened too being beyond comprehension.
3- The third is “no matter how many genders are discovered/coined, none would match for the person.”

The fields are not totally useless. But you don't need that many people to work in them. But who should get to do the jobs? Only way is for people to prepare for them and then apply. So you will always end up with lots of people not getting jobs. But you don't get rid of the fields totally. So what do?

Yes even gender studies is fair to have a few scholars studying. But you don't need a department at every school in the universe.

Isn't it just a part of capitalism though? You might say we should have a quota and only a certain amount get to study these "useless" subjects, only as many as society needs. But that's exactly the kind of central planning most people here hate. So what can you do? We only need so many of these people probably, but you can't force anything.

>>70297818

If you want to call it capitalism you have to take away ALL government assistance to anybody going to college. Obviously, if the government is paying you to do something (which, in this case, is just pursue ANY degree in general) then you're going to do it more (a subsidy).

Get rid of the government funded degrees and you'll see a lot more people realizing that they're just shooting themselves in the foot.

>>70297670
It depends entirely on exactly WHAT these people are taking a good hard look at.

Gender Studies and the various other joke studies were created in entirety for the sole purpose of advancing the interests of communism, though. It's incredibly hard to see even in hypotheticals where exactly the value in such a degree would lie, and easy to see why it shouldn't exist in the first place.

2bh, I feel like any kind of actual positive impact a scholar with a "gender studies" degree would have could also be achieved by literally anyone, who would be equally qualified to do anything that someone with a Gender Studies degree could do, and done better by literally anyone with a degree pertaining to the actual problems at hand.

I majored in art because I like to draw and shit and have a shitload of money I earned on my own from working a high paying factory job for a few years. I did it without any government or parental assistance and now I'm going for a trade while doing a few side illustration jobs because I enjoy those too.

As long as you spend your own money you can do whatever the fuck you want with it.

Stop being assblasted in what people major. As long as its not on government money, you could major in underwater basket weaving.

There's literally no reason for any particular degree before a degree in law.

Well yeah, again, anything that provides some sort of benefit to the application process.

History and English both develop decent writing skills (Holy shit I've written at least a hundred pages on Faulkner and postmodernism this semester). Artists might be better able to express themselves, similarly.

But the subjects themselves don't hold any intrinsic value to being a lawyer. Reading Faulkner won't give you anything except some pretty words to spew at a jury, perhaps. Studying history, also, doesn't directly provide any benefit outside of some more trivia to spit out.

>>70298057
It's useful because, once again, resume! Experience! And not to mention If you can compose yourself enough to be around a room full of multi-millionaires, you're set, bro.

You're not going to be drawing,painting, or photographing in all your classes related to which branch of the arts you want to go into. A lot of classes are based solely on the business/communications part, and once you're into say, your second year, your professional teachers--who have worked in the industry --tend to teach you a little bit of the ropes. How to write emails, cover letters. How to put together a portfolio. How to promote yourself, people.

It's a business. MONEY! Never forget that. It's 80% work and probably 7% doing actual artwork.

And plus, I've learned so many things, that I charge a decent amount of money for my services. Because I'm good. B-)

And one thing, you do have to know how to communicate in art. Commercial artwork is hardly just making a pretty picture, you're there to solve a client's problem.

Once again, it's a business. You have to know how to hustle and get your shit together.

>>
>>70299348

If that's true, then yeah, society didn't value his work until after he died. If he's one in a million, it's not worth putting resources forth for a million painters to go to school in the hopes that we might find another van gogh. The opportunity costs are too high, it's better to make the chances of finding one (which are already infinitesimal) even smaller and have the million doing something we KNOW will be productive.
>>
>>70299156
Painters aren't useless and neither are creatives.


The very letters you're reading were created by a type designer who most likely went to school for design, studied letters, worked a lot, learned how to make letters better, then created the font that is now used by which operating system/browser you're using.

I mean I have several articles here by Leon Battista Alberti that states that painters are a gift to society. Kings and educated men soldiers coming back from Greek wars loved to paint and it gave them insight to the world and helped sharpen the mind.

I don't see why we shouldn't give resources to this? I can understand if you don't want the girl who dips her vagina in paint and drags it across the floor while screaming about hating men. But how can you not see the value in actual art for society? I'm not defending shitty artists who just think their artists.

Most of the best painters, Robert Henri, Jackson Pollock, etc. They went to school for this shit dude. Pennsylvania Art school has created so many great artists. I just go back from the Art Institute of Chicago. The only garbage shit is Modern Art done by people who don't actually care about anything.

because painters are essentially useless, like most artists.

Unlike fields that contribute to society no matter what (i.e., STEM fields), only a tiny few of artists actually contribute anything of worth to society, and that is almost always "artists" who are only artists secondarily (e.g. Leonardo DaVinci).

because of the proliferation of non-jobs (HR, council busibodies, etc.) that seem only to exist to give jobs to women with useless degrees.

Whenever you walk past or drive past one of the huge council buildings do you ever wonder what the fuck needs so much space? Most of it is just people whose job it is to promote/advertise their branch of office - waste of space jobs.

the reason for most of these non-jobs is to create a balance between the genders; they can point to stats and say ' we are an equal opportunities employer'.

Next time you meet a woman ask her what her job is and then ask her 'How do you benefit your company? what would happen if everyone doing your job was sacked?' - they will probably answer with stuff about diversity, company image and other such bullshit.

Truth. In fact, I honestly don't really know how people can learn it in a classroom setting. It'd be interesting to see.

Best thing about programming is that the prime requisite is laziness. The lazier you are, the more you try to program shit to get done for you. And the more you try to program shit that you can re-use without having to program something else.

It's the perfect profession for lazy people.
