Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
honestly fuck people who are like “lol what are you gonna do with that major” when someone says that they’re going to study something that doesn’t typically lead to a high-paying career or to globally-useful breakthroughs. like not only is that incredibly rude and disrespectful, but can we please not disvalue doing something for yourself because you enjoy it? sure maybe studying art or literature might not cure cancer or show how the universe works but it makes people happy, and it may not pay well but not everything is about making money. please just get rid of the idea that a major is only valid or useful if it leads to a well-paying job or brings measurable benefits to a large number of people.
- # angry humanities major rambling
- # listen i will defend every so-called shitty major out there if people need me to
- # like yeah i talk about how im not gonna get paid much but that doesnt matter to me
- # and i hate that that's always the assumption
- # anyway
- # tagamemnon
- # college
- # queueusque tandem abutere catilina patientia nostra

…data science and all that stuff, but if you’re not narrow-minded, you can find it interesting enough. I could. But, that’s what hobbies are for, I’m going to keep my interests as hobbies. And if I ever feel like I don’t like what I’m doing and I’m in a position stable enough to quit my job and dedicate all my time to those hobbies, then great! - joisstudying said:
This is privileged thinking. I grew up poor, so, to me, economic stability is incredibly important. I don’t ever again want to go through what I went during my childhood, and if I have kids, I don’t want them to go through that either. That’s why I chose to study something that will ensure me a high-paid job, even though I wasn’t sure what it was about before I enrolled at university, my interests were others, I didn’t care much about computers, programming, robotics,…
