Having 'a degree' will get you into many office jobs, however irrelevant the subject is. What bollocks - people with degrees vary as widely as people who don't. Besides, they were probably so bored by your limited knowledge of 'basic things' that they couldn't be bothered to engage in a conversation with you.
Having a degree is only 1 small indication of possible intelligence, no indication of critical thinking & no indication of much knowledge outside that field. Many businesses require a degree for some positions with no regard for what degree it is. Talent can be repressed and stifled in the process of getting a degree. 1111
Anyone leaving a university at this time with less than a very good degree, or having a degree with little purpose, will find it harder to get a job than someone without that degree at all. Better to shove it into a drawer and pretend you were in prison.
I think the best route these days is to take up a trade. My ex is an Electrician for Hydro and makes close to 100,000 a yr. I think my boys will end up taking up some kind of trade too. There seems to be a demand for it and the money is good. There are too many prisses out there who don't want to get their hands dirty anymore.
Men study women all the time anyway...no need for a course. Women's studies is typical a history class on the role of women in society. And in some cases can be a platform to promulgate a feminist agenda.
Yes, but instead of learning about history and sociology they teach you how to design bridges and jet engines.
The rest of the curriculum. It's like the library section for black authors. The section for white authors is all around you.
Excuse me, but in all fairness, that's just plain ridiculous. What a clearly anecdotal thing to state. Women's Studies is a very specific school of progressive thought and observed history relating to the social evolution of women. "the library section for black authors" All the rest are white right? :shrug:
I don't think many men study women or many women study men. That would mean a sincere desire & effort to educate oneself & understand the subject. 1111
Unfortunately they do not have Men Studies. In this era, people are focused on a sexist war and cannot find true sexual equality. If Men and Women would be equally studied, or at least given a chance to be studied, since true equality does not exist...if such would happen the world would be at peace with itself.
Sociology is a real good waste of paper and money. It has been my experience that sociologist are either academically challenged, lazy or both. If you want an easy A, take a sociology course.
you're fuckin crazy, sociology is not only interesting, its useful! there is a sociologist for every goddamn thing in the world, they basically collect data about any human behavior, and interpret it to get results, make predictions, and so forth. A sociologist IS different from the social worker though, that was like the first thing my sociology instructor said. AND, you study Karl Marx in sociology, only math and physics are more fun than that.
what a load of crap, sociology is a vital part of epidemology which is vital for people working in public health
