LOL if you have to waste two hours sitting at a computer, thinking of a way to start your bullshit dissection essay about the choice of book you have to read and the "symbolism" that are "hidden" throughout the story when it's just an author writing a loving book to tell a loving story / or make money. loving dumb rear end, go major in science or something else that allows you to work with facts and gain respect. Don't be chump, you will never be J.K Tolkien.

i went to college for comparitive literature and got a bunch of B's first semester, then took a class with a teacher i really liked, who really liked me, and i wrote a killer essay and he gave me a D and stapled 3 sheets of paper to it with a handwritten response, longer than my essay, explaining how my potential was so great but i really just didnt get it, and while he couldnt really put into words what was wrong with my paper, he couldnt shake the feeling that it wasnt right and that i could have done better

so then i switched to hard sciences the next semester and now i can make a living for myself because i spent those years learning how to do things rather than learning how to analyze what other people have already done in minute critical detail

The theoretical deconstruction of Hingehead's thesis is a very interesting topic that is important to many people around the world. It is with great confidence that one must believe in such as statement, as Hingehead did, if one is to further one's own standing in the world; only then can humanity make progress.

This guy got the right idea. I graduated with Associate in Art, hoping to major in history. Of course nobody wants a history major these days. Philosophy was cool, but it was also full of poo poo since it was useless to ponder whether the world is loving real or not. Writing dissection essays became a major pain in the rear end, worse so if you had to write 20 pages spewing the same crap in different vocabulary words. So I changed my major to a B.S degree in kinesiology. Best decision ever because I am now able to write a 10 to 15 page lab reports on oxygen intake at ease in less than a day and still get a 100 on it. I actually feel like I am accomplishing something in the scientific field.

I don't have any sort of degree but I remember there being some study that said people in fields like IT and stuff actually literally have worse employment rates than someone with a Liberal arts degree.

Tbh, to me it seems like bitter people rage about people with "useless" degrees getting jobs while they get owned by an over saturated market.

Hey I know a guy who did that IRL. Are you that guy? Hint: I'm the guy who dated your wife right before you did if you're that guy.

How do you know you really work at a factory? Is it based on empirical evidence that you have the notion of working at the factory or does it all exists only in your head? How do you prove that?
