Hey Shane video idea 💡 Can you make a video for those who have bad degrees like myself and explore the option of getting a good degree. For example the oregon state online post baccalaureate degree program is a great way to obtain a b.a in computer science . Takes only 2 years can be done all remote. No extra fees for out of state tuition. Requires to have an existing degree and college level English and math. Theoretically you could bypass all the hard math requirements needed for comp sci this way.

From an employer perspective, a Gender Studies degree on a resume might be considered as worse than useless or having no degree at all. Many employers may perceive it as a red flag marking the jobseeker as a potential troublemaker and toss the resume immediately into the trash. Why spend thousands of dollars on a degree that actually reduces your employment prospects by turning you into a walking liability?

[@ildart8738]

I remember back in 2007 in Canada, shops used to hire stockboys without high school diploma. I was in high school at the time, and I got hired. Then, a few years later the same store would not accept anyone who had less than a Bachelor's degree. Supply vs demand I guess. I worked with many people who had Bachelor's Degrees, and learned a lot from them. My coworkers came from Ukraine, Nigeria, Sudan (the northern one), Ethiopia, and other African countries. My manager never hired people with gender studies degrees. He realized 20 years ago then that they will be too toxic in the workplace.

I 100% agree with you how volunteering, interning, networking, etc definitely helps in landing jobs. I know lots of people that have degrees in marketable fields like engineering, computer science, accounting, finance, etc that struggled with finding a job in their degree/field. Having a degree in a relevant field and the interview going well isn't enough to land a job for most jobs that require a college degree. In addition to having a degree in a relevant field and the interview going well, a person often needs relevant experience and relevant professional connections in order to land the job. Job openings for engineering jobs, computer science jobs, accounting jobs, finance jobs, psychology jobs, business jobs, marketing jobs, etc are jobs that typically involve 10-15 people being interviewed for the job and 1 person out of the 10-15 people interviewed being chosen for the job, and even if you meet the general criteria for the job, have degrees in relevant fields, have a lot of relevant experience, are highly qualified for the job, etc, there's still a strong chance that you won't be the selected candidate for the job. The selected candidate for the job is often someone that's highly qualified for the job that the hiring manager knows, someone that's highly qualified for the job that the hiring manager received a referral, recommendation letter, etc from a trusted relevant professional reference, etc. Congratulations on having a job helping people with disabilities. It's great to have a job where you help people and make a positive difference in other people's lives. I wish you the best in regards to your Occupational Therapist career goals.

Especially nowadays with AIs being improved at an incredibly high level and being capable of writing essays and summaries of WW2. A friend of mine who's still studying and is majoring in literature just confessed that he wrote an assigment with help of GTP. I have some expertice with corpus, ARS and chatbot design, but obviously I didn't learned that thanks to college but to online programs, cause, like Shane pointed, most colleges give a shit if you can actually make something with your life cause at the end of the day all they want is your money. If they really promoted critical thinking, just as they say, most courses and requirements weren't useless "materias de relleno" like we like to call 'em in Spanish in which you'll only write three essays. Like Shane just said, universities and colleges are the only pyramidal schemed businesses where 18-19 people who have never taken a long term decision in their lifes and don' t know shit about finances can spend tons of money and go into debt cause, hell yeah, they already know what they are doing and they'll receive high quality education that they couldn't receive elsewhere, right? And do unies really do something to show you future possible job areas? Or are they mostly interested in publishing and research? At least I've heard that it is highly unlikely but not impossible for linguists to land at some tech related job, but I really wonder what can someone do with majors like PS, gender studies and sociology just with what they've learned in uni. Another friend of mine doubled in cultural studies (the hell that even means) and political science, but from what I have recently heard from her we both have the same language related employability cause here in Colombia there aren't job opportunities for political science majors. We Latinos have a weird mindset where you can't criticize nor say something negative about college because if you do you're a dumb complainer and unies are sacred, but if you end up being unemployed with these degrees it is your fault because you chose wrongly and not university's who didn't teach you something useful and appliable to the real world in 5 years though you spent tons of money and you can earn more with a KZbin channel. And if you couldn't find a job while you were studying somehow it is also your fault though you lacked a master's degree and 3 years of exp.

If you take a BS or BA at a college they don't benefit from the University you will subsequently go to to do an MA or Doctorate. The college isn't intentionally undereducating you at BS / BA level so they can sell a higher degree. A PhD can also make you less employable because you are too specific at that point as opposed to an MA or MS which is more advanced but not overly specialized. A PhD may send you back to work in academia. The MA/MS may shorten or eliminate the experience requirement for BS/BA. There are for profit BA programs that knowingly sell a degree as a financial product and the whole thing is an upsell. But a good grade in most degrees from a good college can mean opportunities where those without degrees reach an advancement ceiling.

And how miserable would the world be without art and painting and poetry and music et. al.? But the problem is that when you're just starting out in life, the absolute top priority is CAREER AND INCOME because what good is painting if you're a homeless hobo living on the streets begging for food? Those other things are great but first you need to generate revenue.

A computer science degree doesn't tell you how to code any more than a mechanical engineering degree teaches you CAD.

I think he should've specified it teaches you to "code well" whether than simply "code". I can completely imagine a non CS grad who would do mistakes such as using a vector instead of a stack, who would use an array instead of a linked list, when those other data structures would be more optimal for that particular situation. Thus they might end up doing a O(n^2) algorithm for something that could be done in O(n)

[@allgoodnamestaken6002]

Literally any degree is "useless" if you don't have any actual plan other than getting the degree. Bear in mind I'm not neccesarily defending the major the video is talking about, but I also still hate this toxic mentality of degrees being "useless". A tech company is more likely to hire a History major with a portfolio and good references rather than a CS major with nothing to show on their resumé other than a degree. They need to know that you're actually capable of doing the job you're signing up for, and the fact you earned a piece of paper doesn't tell them that. This goes for basically every other field as well. Not to say a degree is useless, but you should also have an actual plan beyond the degree. Do things outside the classroom. Internships, build a portfolio, etc. Comparing business loans (with people who are presumably already experienced in that field and would likely know better) to school loans given to kids who are just figuring out what career path they want to take is also kind of odd.

She says everybody has a "gender". Honestly, I don't. Or at least I think I don't... I mean I know that I'm a man because I have a male body, meaning i belong to the category of the male sex. And i definately feel comfortable with my body. Meaning I am psychologically healthy in the sense that I have no dysphoria. But i don't know what "gender" is. Never heard anyone providing a sensible definition of that term which is not circular and not purely subjective.

[@unstablepc5913]

I agree with you that not everyone ascribes to a gender. An easy way to define gender (though some may disagree with this one) is that we associate certain archetypes to the female and male sex (a woman is kind and nurturing, a man strong and blah blah blah). Gender is often used to refer to these archetypes in a way separate from biological sex. The idea of a woman and man, rather than the chromosomes. There are multiple ways in which we experience gender. A lot of people feel the need to perform as a gender. It sounds like you don't have this, which is probably for the best. We also experience gender socially. When people see you, they will often attribute a gender to you and associate certain expectations to it. I hope this helps. Gender has a bit more of a social context (though some argue it is part biological) than sex which is meant to be purely biological. This separation is useful because it allows us to distinguish between biological and social effects. In your case, you identify that you are of the male sex, while also recognizing that you do not feel the pressure to perform according to the gender, the societal expectations that come with that.

So gender makes up a huge part of civilization. We should definitely study it. Misunderstandings arise when people do not see that women’s studies is a multidisciplinary degree. I have one. I now work in home for IDD women, some who are able to work, and I make them meals from the Women’s Home Companion Recipe book. What were women like back then? I’ve got some mainstream movies, a book from English class in high school, biological depictions of sexual parts, psychology of man and woman in a specific framework central to building upon high school knowledge, some fashion excerpts and my grandma. Human beings deserve a closer study than that. Did the microwave help or harm women? Technology and women have a very unique relationship, as technology provided for women usually is related directly to meeting basic needs, or managing a home. Yet, microwaves are also dangerous, they take us away from cooking fresh food and connecting over the meal preparation, they sort of make recipes moot, and yet people idolize these 50s women. Look at the football player and his graduation speech. To him, men were made men from TV dinners. Why? Because focusing on women’s work and using technology to make her life easier and more expedient makes men feel good, and men want to protect the women, it’s just another knight and stranded princess story. And the microwave is also the dragon. See you next time on reality checks for people who think real degrees are in business in rooms full of students no one bothered to insure were diversified because business heads shouldn’t practice from the get go how to mass market except from a textbook at best.

In order to filter out the noise and be critical, transcribe word for word what a video is saying and then start removing all the buzz or emotionaly charged words. After that read it in your own voice and start thinking about each proposition to determine if it actually offers anything of substance. Take out everything that's not of clear, real value and see what you end up with. After that ask yourself if there is any bias in the narrative or your intial reaction to it (also know that bias is not inherently bad or evil, it has a place and a role) Lastly, think about any ways in which it could be wrong, misleading or gaslighting.
