If I spend $265,000 to go to Liberal Arts U to get a degree in gender studies to work at Starbucks does that make sense?


That is one tired stereotype.

I went to the LSU graduation a couple weeks ago and was amazed that there were approximately 80 people graduating as Doctor of Philosophy. This is a degree that has absolutely no use outside of academia. The only other doctorates issued were for music. The vast majority of the masters were in some humanities as well as the bachelors.

How many of those with Philosophy and Studies degrees do you think are leaving with large amounts of debt but no viable employment skills?

I hope that all of them do well with their degree, but I don't think they will get much return on investment.
