I'm sick and tired of hearing this propaganda. It's part of the dumbing down of America. Our corporate and political overlords want a bunch of uneducated idiots who never learned who to think critically, because they're less likely to challenge authority. Since about 2010, the republican party has become overwhelmingly blue collar, so they know where their base is, and pander to it. The democratic Party has become more and more "progressive" urban elites, so of course college is a great target.Originally Posted by chihuahua
If you're asking people what to study in college, it means you're wasting your time going. College has become mostly a scam, except for the small percentage that actually know what they want to do with their lives at 18. I won't get into the indoctrination that goes on at this point either. Go to a trade school if you want to learn something useful thats non-aviation related, or A&P if you want to stick to airplanes. You'll learn some useful stuff, and it will be way more fun than listening to academia try to convince you there are 557 different genders.
Trade school isn't for everyone, and it's a hard life where someone will work their ass off their whole life and never move up in socioeconomic class (another thing our corporate and political rulers like). Going to college and getting a worthwhile degree in the sciences, engineering, architecture, or law is the fastest way to move up in this society.
Now if you're talking about a liberal arts degree in gender studies because your parents made you go to college, then yeah, stay home. but I think that's a vast outlier, regardless of what the media talking heads tell you to believe.
