I never placed a value on any degree, you and others did that… and COVID literally has nothing to do with this subject matter, at all. You were hyperbolically suggesting that there has been a slew of useless degrees conferred. So I found the information, posted it for you, and asked you to elaborate on your stance. You can’t/haven’t. It’s that simple.
They’re commonly offered, but not all are worthless which is what you stated.
I have econ and my wife has an art degree. Together we make a very comfortable living and it's more than most. Your list is crap and insulting. I mean, you're a teacher right? What's your degree and how's it working out?Business degrees are a dime a dozen
Psychology is useless as a four year degree
Any kind of general studies degrees are useless unless for pre med or pre law
Journalism degrees are a dime a dozen just like communication degrees
Sociology is useless as a four year degree
English and American Lit degrees are useless unless you pursue your doctorate and land one of the few professors jobs in the nation
I didn’t even mention degrees in art or music which rarely if ever work out. There are numerous degrees that rarely work out and evens one that do like criminal science and criminal justice which barely pay enough to justify the debt unless using it to pursue a law degree.

Not really. You simply choose to look at the degree not the people. I know lots of friends from UT with similar degrees that are very successful
What's yours in if your dogging others over their degree?
So was yours in the worthless list?
No, but would I encourage a student to go into education? It depends on where they plan on attending college. If they have their heart set on a private school, no I wouldn’t. It’s not worth 80k in debt for 45-50k a year. If they go to a public university, with 20-25k in debt yes I would. The cost of the degree has to be offset by the income of the career. If it doesn’t, it’s a poor degree
So you list the degrees of others yet conveniently leave yours off the worthless list? ClassicNo, but would I encourage a student to go into education?
