I'm not sure I can agree with you. In most cases you are right, but the private ones, and especially the one we are thinking of have some advantages when it comes to the material base of the university and some of the approaches they take in educations.
For me, I don't think there's a place on earth better suited for my needs in the moment, but for subjects like design, fine arts and hell, maybe even psychology, where the need of a good base is key, the private ones are better.

Studying English and Philosophy. I'm also enrolled in the Buddhism Psychology and Mental Health (BPMH) program, and I'm studying German through their Germanic Languages Dpt.

Fucked up second year hard, but now I'm a few months from finally finishing my undergrad. A lot of people at University don't know what it's like to work construction/ in a kitchen/ put in a 12 hour day of manual labour. For me, it was through the months of manual labour and the post-closing-hours dishwashing that I learned resilience and effort. There are some very important things university just ignores - I don't know what they are in precise terms, something to do with being a good person. Male drop-out rates have never been higher. It's actually getting pretty alarming.

Highly regretting my decision not to major in whatever sub-branch of Philosophy allows me to be subsidized by my 'rents and Uncle Sam for 4 yeas to essentially sit on my ass and read Deleuze & Guattari and then kill myself after graduation because there is zero chance of:
a) getting a job with a Philosophy degree
b) getting a tenured professorship in Philosophy
c) paying back the loans I was subsidized on

So but then why do I regret not choosing to go down that depressing cop-out path? Because CE is making me contemplate suicide on a daily basis, and if I had gone with the dead-end Philosophy route I would have at least managed to stave off suicidal thoughts and intentions for another 3 years or so.

two russian minors? jesus christ. how good is your ruski? i know an excellent tutor in the ndg area. moscow-born monarchist and a christian. knew hamlet by heart at age 11 (translated, though). actually a genius. shell walk around in her room chain smoking viceroys while she tells you about the history of the tsars, or the life of pushkin, or the nature of love. a brilliant old lady. so far weve read tchekov, pushkin, and turgenev together, now tackling c&p (i knew spoken russian to begin with though).

How do you people plan on making a living with /lit/ and philosophy majors?

>>6126105
here, I can think of a number of careers I would be very interested in (namely in human rights organizations and NGOs) but they all seem like utter crapshoots. I feel like I've already made the "right" decision in major/prospective career and I despise it.

I basically just treated university creative writing classes like workshops on how to be marketable when writing and trying to sell creative fiction - which is basically what they are, in addition to a great way of making connections.
Literature classes are important as well. You can learn quite a bit about how to write from the authors you read, but the ability to show up at a college party and start discussing Woolf with your classmates over liquor and discussing each others' drafts is simply one of the best experiences there is and well worth the money you are spending on your classes.

Studying economics through the school of business. Politically im moving further left so I might just do Econ thru the school of liberal arts. Plus then I can have more space for some /lit/ classes. Although my choices are slim for that too. My school doesnt even have a class in postmodernism.

I feel like im venting here now. I just wanted to add that im not even sure wat im gonna do with an econ degree. My parents are pushing law shool but I really dont wanna go into law.

Honestly the only reason I chose econ was to serve as a halfway point between a liberal art and business major. Fortunately im enjoying the econ classes a lot but hating the biz courses.

In a perfect world I would be studying lit and history

I go to Tufts.

Debating between English, Political Science, Philosophy, and Economics. Probably going to try and double major between two of the ones I just mentioned.

What should I do?
