Haha, I hadn't heard it. But most of the unemployed people I know majored in cinema, biology, and (now) economics.
I know two people who bragged at graduation about their cushy new jobs at Lehman Bros... as bad as it may sound, I allowed myself one fist pump today. |

That doesn't sound bad at all, in fact, it sounds great.
*fist pumps* |

I'll def have kid(s).
I'm aiming to have my first child around 30. I might only have one child, I'm not sure. I definately want a son though, to continue my genes/name ahaha. I guess the wife would want a girl, so we'd probably end up with two kids. From the financial side of things, I would rather just have one. |

Seriously, they may be good at what they do or whatever, but have you ever tried to have an intelligent dinner conversation with an engineer or an accountant? The versatility of a liberal arts major cannot be denied. As a professor of mine put it, "the liberal arts isn't about a particular subject inasmuch as it is about teaching the mind how to think intelligently."
*digs hole* |
Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back dude. :tongue2 I've known many a liberal arts majors who were equally boneheaded, and many a science major who were intelligent in a relevant world view context |

Lol, Rob and Lez, you know I was just ing around :p It is a pretty old joke though.
Lesbianosaur, I do fully agree with what you said before, regarding 'dinner conversation'. I have a friend that I grew up with, smart guy, who never really figured out what he wanted to study, and is now some kind of random tradesman. Tradesmen (in this country, not sure about other places) tend to have a 'culture' surrounding them, where it's almost a badge of honour to be a dull, unthinking, 'uncomplicated' type of person. And as a result of this, I can't even talk to him any more. Not about anything interesting, anyway. The 'unthinking' culture has rubbed off on him so much, that our conversations are now limited to sports, beer, and other inane , and it's really sad. Learning to think is the best thing a person can do for themselves IMO. |

self analysis can be a great thing, but sometimes you just have to get out of your own ing head for a bit. You'll drive yourself nuts examining your faults, and it's quite clear you already at least have an idea of the things in your life that make you happy - so I have a good feeling that you know how, and have the ability, to at least work towards it.
I guess that's the only thing that gives me serious solace when I get locked into thoughts like that - I genuinely believe I'm capable of getting the things I want, and smart enough to know how to do it. |
This comment alone says plenty that you'll do just fine man. |

One of Myra and my favorite bars in Milwaukee is owned by a guy about five years older than us, and we were sitting in there one night this Winter having a drink and talking with him and we got on the topic of how he wound up owning the bar/restaurant we were in.
His response, "I went to UWM, got a degree in philosophy, and figured that this is just what you did once you had a degree in philosophy."
He instantly became my hero. Also, they didn't have a single bottle of "rail" booze in the place and played impeccable music - so basically the guy had high standards in everything (a *gasp* elitist), a philosophy degree, and knew how to have a good time.
Yeah. My hero.  |
