Major Idiots

College students wasting their money:

Remember that old joke about majoring in underwater basket weaving? Oh, it’s far worse today. Here are some of the majors these young people rattled off with surprising pride: The Performance of Self Creative Production and Narrative Through the Arts The Sociology of Environmental Communication Music, Business, and Gender Studies “The Performance of Self?” Might be more honestly labeled “How To Turn Narcissistic Personality Disorder Into Fun and Profit!” Most of the alleged majors sound as though they were made up on the spot during a street game of Mad Libs, but student Dominique’s “Care Studies” major has to take top prize. What students are to care for or about is left unclear, but her minor of “Disability Studies” might give a clue.

More BS degrees for everyone...
