Good point, with one qualifier. A journalism degree actually has some practical uses. It teaches writing skills, public relations, communication, etc. Lots of those skills come in handy, especially these days, when far too many people can barely put together a decent paragraph. Alas, it's the non-technical side of a journalism degree (stuff that might be called indoctrination by us cynical types) that can leave graduates dumber than when they started.At what point do we get it so wrong in teaching our youth, that the little kid with such big dreams ends up as a young adult with a useless journalism degree?
Disclaimer: I have a journalism degree, so I'm definitely biased. Then again, I've actually used that degree in the real business world, so I'm living proof that it's not quite as useless as it sounds.
Now, a degree in women's studies or what-not, ugh...what use does that have in the real world? I can't imagine a single practical application, except to indoctrinate the next generation on how oppressed they are.
