Why do they even offer that major anymore if it's fucking useless on its own?

I work in SF Bay Area for a tech company. Just applied to 100+ jobs, got really good at interviews through brute forcing it, and found something in a field that I could demonstrate I had a personal enthusiasm for, even if my major didn’t directly concern it.

It's not useless, at least to them; it's your autistic inability to empathize that keeps you from seeing why they would value it (mostly women, so trying to impress people like parents, a hiding place from the world, get to live in little tales of fiction because their brain functions like a child's, further obstacle and excuse they can use as to why they haven't written a book, easy to find friends, time is structured around uni because they need someone to tell them how to live, etc.)

If literature is no use to the world, this is an indictment against the world, not literature. Only a tiny brained monkey would take it as fact that whatever is valuable in business is what is valuable at all.
