I come from a family of coal miners and was the first in my family to go to college. I went to the university to study for a career that would get me out of the mines. I can't imagine taking courses that would lead me to a lower standard of living than working in the mines. I just don't understand I guess. Like I say I am old school so forgive me.
I actually just about use nothing I learned from both undergrad and graduate degrees. Actually pretty much hated the MBA program. Thank God I always had free tuition.Hate to say it but the majority of undergrad degrees are worthless. Gradute school is really where people learn things they can actually use in a career.
I was a psychology major and I ended up going to business school.
Wooooo. woooooo......you PC bro?That's because you have white privilege. And if you knew anything about AFAM, you'd check that white privilege.
I think I just earned 3 credit hours.

KFCForgive me but I am very, very old school and we didn't have these degrees when I graduated. So if I had one what would I do with it? What kind of a job would I be looking for? Where would I go for employment? Inquiring minds would like to know.

I actually got, among other things, a degree in African American studies.
I worked in pro sports for a number of years, and then became a teacher.
Not sure if you are looking for a real answer, of courseBut it is similar to the non-skill related degrees that lead to pre-med and the like

NBDL or BLM.Forgive me but I am very, very old school and we didn't have these degrees when I graduated. So if I had one what would I do with it? What kind of a job would I be looking for? Where would I go for employment? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Strong work.I just think all these well-to-do white supremacists from Appalachia need to apologize for institutionalizing racism and building their communities on the backs of poor black people. If only the tobacco farmers, coal miners, and other blue collar workers from the state of Kentucky could sincerely apologize in unison for victimizing, marginalizing, and demeaning persons of color, then we could move forward as a society, or something.
Got another 3 credit hours for that one, I think.
I'm not sure what you are suggesting about Classics or Romance language degrees (French/Spanish / Portuguese/ Catalonian/Italian/ etc.).These degrees have great value in numerous careers.It's shocking what you can major in these days. Here are some examples of bachelor degrees you could get at the University of Oregon when I worked there:
Classics
Fibers
Folklore
Medieval Studies
Romance Languages

Interesting. never knew she was in the army.Actually I think black history is quite an interesting/fascinating field personally. You'd be surprised at how many blacks, women, etc made some major contributions in history/tech behind the scenes.
For example, did you know that like Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson also faced court martial as an Army officer for refusing to give up his seat to a white man, at least a decade or so before Rosa?
An AFAM degree can lead to being President of the United States. Of course after you become a 'community organizer'.
