Seriously. You can teach most of that shit to yourself.

Agriculture? Science, engineering and architecture need to accept Agriculture;s knowledge and start some vertical farms, hydroponic carrot farms, etc. Our growth as an organism on the whole depends on it (semi-outrageous claim).

Just to clarify there's a huge distinction between Mechanical Engineering proper and Mechanical Engineering Technology.

Mechanical Engineering is going down the shit tube because there are no machines in America. They are all in Chinese factories.

I think we can all agree that journalism is definitely number 1...

I'm surprised that mechanical engineering and chemistry is on the list but philosophy and theology isn't.

MET is the retarded offspring of mechanical engineering.
Less math and equations, and more hands-on, in the field, you are someone elses bitch
Many people considering Mechanical Engineering, but whom aren't good at math, go to MET
At my school, MET isn't even a part of the engineering college

no, mechanical engineering in the US is still doing very well. the DoD is always looking for competent MechEs, as are virtually all companies requiring engine/power system design.

Yeah, it's not going to benefit you in a practical sense, but I feel putting aside money for answering life's big questions is important. I'm essentially a vastly underpaid computer programmer, but I have one of the coolest jobs in the world.

Journalism degree, for one, isn't by definition useless.
It's just that the demand for some of the "easier" degrees is way too high.
