For the LULZ......lets see what the 'experts' warn you NOT to say to a college grad.

“What Can You Do With That Degree?”
No one poses this question to electrical-engineering students. But ask a roomful of liberal-arts folks if they’ve heard it and every hand goes up. It’s frustrating for them. A better question might be “What have you learned that will help you do what you enjoy?” Today’s economy is rapidly evolving, and many new grads will end up as freelancers or entrepreneurs and perform jobs that don’t exist right now. Well.....there's no need to ask someone with an electrical-engineering degree.......because it's clear WHAT THEY CAN 'DO'.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/1..._n_792399.html Huffpo says unemployment is wayyyyy up for degree holders. I wonder why that is?

There's Isha, who, despite having a master's degree and a White House internship on her resume, can't find a job. There's Mark, who went back to school in his 30s only to remain workless. And there's Samantha, who spent nearly two years of her post-college life in a Starbucks in New York City, applying for any position she could find on Craigslist.

lulz........2 years at starbucks eh? well....that's 'hip'.



So...if you're talking to a liberal arts major.....it's just very very rude to ask what they can 'do' with such a degree.

Bad form and all that.

Because they're trained to 'think'. lmao

Of course they can't 'do' anything......

I am always perplex at why someone would lay down over $100k for something so goddamn stupid like 18th century literature, liberal arts, or sociology. Then, the have the audacity to say they can't find a job. Ya fucking think ? Do you think people choose the more difficult majors for the hell of it ?

I will literally laugh at them when they say they can't find a job and ask them if those extra hours at the frat parties and clubs (while I was studying and am currently employed) were worth it.

Yep.

"I majored in Medieval Languages and Lit.......and only starbucks will hire me"

Well....you fucking retard.....who do you think needs your skills?

Credentialed......vs Educated/trained.

Typical lib arts degree:

Like, math is hard and stuff and I can't do science.

Then you should probably learn to sell (that's really your only option) or kill yourself.

The article goes into detail explaining how lib art students are trained to 'think'.....instead of learn.

WTF ever that shit means.......

bottom line is that they leave college 100k in debt.....and not trained to do a fucking thing.

One of the best universal responses to these types that I've found is, aimply: "Well whoopty shit"

Nah.

Best response IMO, is "yea, that's great, now 5 piece McNuggets, and a large drink, to go. No fries with that. "

They're PERFECTLY qualified for a government job, however.

[iuopyra]

They're PERFECTLY qualified for a government job, however.

Right.

Cause they're taught to 'think'....and the government is full of great thinkers.

[StethyEntinic]

Right.

I'd even question that.. Engineering is all about critical thinking skills. It's all that matters.

Liberals "arts" is.. Well..

I dunno what it is, but it isn't particularly long on critical thinking or problem solving.

2 kids with business degrees
1 with a degree in molecular biology
1 with a degree in sustainable horticulture

It's good that they had the wisdom of the experience of a mom with a liberal arts degree.
