it seems to me, kids getting these degrees are for the angry and who need to have constant reassurance.

i guess you would get a job with ACORN or the abortion industry if you have these type degrees.

Bachelor of Arts (BA), African American & African Studies Degree Salary, Average Salaries | PayScale

Its $60k a year.

You left out the part where it says the $38k per year was for Black people with a Family and Consumer Sciences degree. That is not African American Studies. At least link to an article showing the degree we are talking about. I read the same link and AAS is not in the list of ten lowest paying degrees for Black people. Just stop making up stuff.

Dude... You're example is based off of two salaries

The degree definitely isn't worthless. It is like any history degree. If you make good decisions and the right connections it can be very lucrative. If you think all history degrees are worthless than that is an different argument. On average someone with just a degree in AAS makes $60,000 per year. Not great, but more than the average American makes.

multiple degree holders, a movie star and a comic writer. or they started a foundation and don't actually make money for themselves or anyone but instead get donations (not a bad cause but not an income generator).

and the bolded doesn't make your point, as someone said it isn't that the person got an AAS degree, its that they went to Yale for it. take those same people and stick them in AAS at a CC or even a state school and see if they walk away with the connections.

Liberal Arts degree holders are a lot like slinky's. They aren't good for anything, depend on someone else for purpose, but they are fun to push down stairs.

This is ridiculous. As a lib, I must say the attacks on free speech are becoming ludicrous. It's a shame how the roles have reversed here.

Can’t you read? Joe never said he was against free speech. You threw that in there on your own. And he never said he hated American, you also put that in there.

I'm sure you don't know how college works so I'll tell you. Any degree you get will start with a base set of classes everyone has to take. Anyone who earns any degree will be way more educated than someone sitting home posting memes on Facebook.

Why do you bash AA studies and Women's studies every time someone discusses degrees? Are you a racist or a sexist or something? You are aware AA studies is basically a history degree and Women's lit is an English degree? There are several history degrees and English degrees available. Why single the two of many? Jealous that people with those degrees are better educated and probably better paid than you? Must suck to be so jealous and hateful.

They need to get rid of those base set of classes..... it’s ridiculous and just drives up costs for students that much more.

Ok. Another question.

When some one gets this degree, what are the career fields that are open to them?
I assume most plan on being teachers?

Its definitely not to me maybe not to you. Its more than the AVERAGE American makes.

Average wages, median wages, and wage dispersion

So while not big money to some of us, its great money to over half the country.

Once again the people making fun of these degrees are mad they are jealous these people with Black and women focused degrees make more and are better educated than them.

Stay salty, broke, and uneducated. lmao

Would you prefer I whitewash reality to protect your euro ethnocentric safe space? I didnt think that stating the truism that our traditional history curriculum focuses on white people was playing the race card.
