Why the criticism of an English degree? It's an important, critical and incredibly useful subject. Especially in our increasingly connected and writing-centric world. You get an advanced workforce by making it advanced in all aspects, not just the ones that you arbitrarily value.
- vorpalhex 7y agoThere's nothing wrong with an English degree if you intend to use it and have a career path with it in mind. Unfortunately I have no shortage of friends who went with college because they were expected to, got an English degree because it was easy, and now work dead end jobs they dislike. While I'm picking on English degrees because it's easy pickings, it's not unique. Take any degree, throw enough people at it and you'll end up with a lot of degree holders not having career paths open to them.
