- Chris2048 10y agoGetting a humanities degree only to serve coffee is what produces the appropriate level of snark.
- bottled_poe 10y agoRight? What a waste of time it is to study such a non-practical skill. Unlike us smart folks, who produce highly valued products and definitely not digital garbage. Now let's all pat ourselves on the back for being so clever.
- booleandilemma 10y agoThe startup I work for is developing a back patting app that we hope will help combat impostor syndrome and disrupt the back patting space. We've just completed our Series A round of financing.

- jgalt212 10y agofair enough, but people need to make enough money to support their families and majoring in Art History is not the best first step towards those goals.
- bottled_poe 10y agoDisagree. If society believes that supporting families is an important social priority, it is up to the government to put in place the best policies to enable that to happen. 'Making money' is only one way to achieve that goal.
- jgalt212 10y agoI think deductibility of home mortgage interest highly correlates with that goal.
- lacampbell 10y agoI think you're reading too much into it. It was really a smartass comment about how people with degrees now do jobs that people who didn't even have high school diplomas used to do.
- coldtea 10y agoIn that case the snark is justified, since those humanities graduates can see right through the misery of theirs and yours human condition.
- Fricken 10y agoI've been ordering coffee all over the world for 25 years. I've never experienced this snarky barista the internet keeps telling me about.
- lawless123 10y agoIt's just a meme to enable people to look down on them. Snowflake could probably be fit in here too.
