Forget morale, the entire concept is immoral. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 31/05/2010 02:52:08 AM
Certainly, there can be some kind of exception during a time of total war, but to make every person sign away two years or their lives just because you think it's "good" for society is horrific. Enforced slavery to the state. Lovely.

I think she's still slightly below the national average. Tom - 30/05/2010 04:26:16 PM 648 Views
I am uncertain if she is working full time. cmdjing - 31/05/2010 12:57:29 AM 736 Views
Have to agree here ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 30/05/2010 05:54:54 PM 652 Views
It's a column, not a real article... and it's more critical than you suggest. Legolas - 30/05/2010 04:02:26 PM 657 Views
No it isn't. Tom - 30/05/2010 04:24:20 PM 684 Views

Very bad life planning, and sadly, it's not an isolated case. Tom - 31/05/2010 04:01:46 AM 604 Views
Same. Humanities, while necessary, are something of a luxury given the numbers. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 07:35:25 AM 345 Views

100% in your camp here. LadyLorraine - 31/05/2010 04:35:45 AM 562 Views
I don't see the point in a humanities major if you aren't planning to get more than a bachelor's. Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 07:41:40 AM 765 Views
srsly. way to devalue a bachelor's degree, american society 9_9 LadyLorraine - 31/05/2010 08:07:47 AM 563 Views

Heh. True fact. *NM* Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:56:09 AM 240 Views
That's kind of a weak reason, though. Ghavrel - 31/05/2010 11:11:49 PM 593 Views
I'm pretty sure I didn't use that as my reason... Rebekah - 31/05/2010 11:15:32 PM 608 Views
That's true, although I don't know how many jobs that's useful for. Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 01:20:29 AM 580 Views
That's fine. And I didn't go to Uni to get a job. I went for the education. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:29:28 AM 774 Views
I want to make clear that I, as a humanities major, really do like the humanities. Ghavrel - 01/06/2010 09:37:39 AM 762 Views
I know. Rebekah - 01/06/2010 09:55:41 AM 688 Views
