Ironicwarcriminal posted:when you think about it taking any sort of university degree in a "humanities" subject is incredible selfishness and narcissism.
How egotistical is it to believe that the world will be enriched by YOUR take on something that is already analysed and commented on by millions of people already.
Humanities aren't about ”your take” on anything, that's just some modernist clap trap pushed by yanks. Humanities is about educating moralists who may then take up their appropriate positions as lawyers, judges, legislators, administrators, etc. wretched western academia has simply perverted the proper order of things and made the humanities into some dumb, irrelevant, relativist club for babbies with big mouths and little experience.
”your take” is supposed to be aired after years of studying philosophy, and after years of practical experience in those noble fields.

Basically your only actual job is knowing where to look those up at and having nice penmanship.
If this is satirizing my comment then bzzzzt
Those things are actually material contributions (if not always necessities or socially useful), pontifications about history just waft into thin air until the graduate bites the bullet and gets a job writing copy or something

Lykourgos posted:The job market might be bad, but also keep in mind that your american liberal arts education is piss poor and academia lied to you and fleeced you for tens of thousands of dollars. Even if the job market was great you'd still be a shitty employee who spent the last four years ”studying” karl barx's theory of sitting on your arse doing fuck all.
i agree with all of this, but i still want more.

The Rite-Aid is always looking for a good scab. If there's not one in your town, hit the greyhound and start scaring up some work.

so having a specific background is only a start - but if you have something in mind it quickly narrows the focus of the job search.
If our universe were to travel at the speed of light from point A to B, or expand at the speed of light, would entropy slow down?
and
2nd question - if you have trapped an ion, using an electric field, within a chamber which it doesn't touch, would scales placed below the chamber measure the weight of the chamber only or chamber + ion?
what the hell is going on here, this person actually finished her phd
