90 percent is crap???
Enough already with this attitude towards humanitarian studies. Engineering, computer science, medicine and law are all valuable studies but diminishing other fields doesn't make us seem smarter.
One of the most creative and successful entrepreneurs I have met had studied Italian art history.
- IgorPartola 14y agoAnd did she use her Italian Art History education to become a successful entrepreneur? Conversely, would she be more successful with a different degree? Study what you like/want if you can afford to, but the reality is that you are more likely to be financially independent and successful with some majors and not others. No, humanities are not crap, but you have to use the right tool for the job. If you have a degree in English literature, yet have no aspirations of becoming a teacher, then you are holding the wrong tool. The grandparent post to me reads as "when choosing a career, some are more and some are less likely to help you get good financial health."
- flexie 14y agoNo, he didn't use the Italian art history. I don't think there is any education for what he did. But I think that what made him good at what he did was the same curiosity and interest in aesthetics that made him study Italian art history in the first place.
