You only bang 9s and 10s right.

The biggest piece of the pie is pretty much my thought exactly. Either that or 'So, you're wasting your money on schooling you probably don't need, eh?'
I'm history major and I'm pretty sick of people always asking me what I will do with it. Regardless of the fact that you shouldn't base your life around making as much money as possible, learning humanities makes you a more intelligent and well rounded person, along with teaching you writing and critical thinking skills. It always seems to be that business, engineering, and science majors feel the need to justify doing boring, difficult work during college. If that's what you like and are good at by all means do it, but for some people it's not all about how much money you'll make after college.

Rant over

Amen brother. As a history and Latin major I hear a lot of this shit as well, including from my father who got a computer engineering degree from MIT. And UMaine is suffering the rule of a university president with a vendetta against the History department, aiming to turn this place into a job training institute rather than a beacon of reason in a sea of ignorance.

I took 9 hours of Philosophy, 9 hours of English, 6 hours of History and 9 hours of Religion, just fyi. Not as much as someone solely in a Humanities discipline, but I took more than the average person probably

Anyway, it's fine if you want to do History or Philosophy or whatever, but you should at least have a game plan of what you want to do once you get out, especially after what happened in the economy.

There are two types of students in this world: Art students and real students
