Funny how being a dumb compliant factor worker has a better chance at making a living than someone with a philosophy degree.

- sam0x17 4y agoOr you can double major computer science and philosophy like I did
- justbaker 4y agoOne of those will help career wise and the other aids in that. A good pair
- caned 4y agoA guess. I would guess chances are that someone with a philosophy degree has more options to begin with, and would more likely go lateral into some white collar office job than become destitute.
- justbaker 4y agoTrue, will they directly use a degree in philosophy though? The path to a white collar job is much shorter with other degrees.
- akvadrako 4y agoI don't think it does; there are no factory jobs. These days for a good career you need a more nuanced understanding of the world.
- justbaker 4y agoBut.. there are. I’m not saying working in a factory is a glorious, all-fulfilling career but it’s work. The best thing the American educational system could do is teach trades rather than leave young adults in tens of thousands to hundred thousands in debt to begin their adult life. Having a “nuanced” understanding of the world will do little to change that.
