They were too insular and only Ellis and Tartt could write, and the latter didn't publish her novel till the '90s.

threads. Sorry if you're a summerfag who didn't get the joke. The short answer is no, it's not worth it. Get out while you still can, change majors now or work a menial job until you squirrel away enough cash to go back to university for STEM or something vocational.

You can try deluding yourself into thinking you are motivated and qualified enough to earn a position as a professor at a university, but you will be competing with thousands of other Ph.D. grads for that spot. And you will probably be hired as a guest lecturer, adjunct, sub, temp, etc., which means they can pay you shit-all.

3/10, broke joker.

There's a pretty good book on this: Anti-Intellectualism in American Life. It was written in the mid '60s I believe, but it's still essentially a mirror unto the idiocy of today.

I managed to skip all mandatory English and History classes my first year with AP credit, shit was so cash. Even finagled my way into a higher level writing class (on nonfiction, journalism major) the first semester.

That was the best class-schedule.

There's a Guardian article about how surprisingly useful a philosophy degree can be and the applications it has sans teaching philosophy. Of course, it was written in like 2007, before the current fiscal fucktastrophe.

I just remember it because the main subject of the article essentially says stuff like:
>$90k starting, any job I want
and looks like a fuckwit.
