I’m with Lech on this. if my kid is looking to blow 50k/yr (present-value) for 4 years on one of “those” subjects, he can do it on his own dime. I wont tell him he cant do it but just aint on my dime. if that money is to be blown like that, let me re-learn trig (ie via golf ball trajectory)
Pete, thank god you lucky enough to get cushy union gig cause your lack of the basic knowledge would’ve forced you into some crappy jobs – ie everyone knows fluffing is an all-feet gig
rf, I didn’t say I don’t believe in social science, I said I think it’s all basically obvious and doesn’t take anyone 4 years to learn. I “belive” in peeling oranges, but getting a 4 year degree in peeling oranges is totally mockable.

I tried very hard to get da kid to take a single economics course in college. They had one, something like ‘lesbians and economics’ or something.
She wouldn’t even take that one.

lechacal, they say that sociology is like peeling the layers of an onion.
lech,
Isn’t it true that “Women’s Studies”
was only developed to help girls that
couldn’t get a date, seem important?
