I can't tell if you're trolling or haven't heard the conservative side before. I don't think anyone has a problem if you want to go get a degree that won't get you a job. The issue we have is that degrees that won't get you a job (like philosophy) are generally put against a massive loan. College is a personal investment. Things like engineering degrees, while expensive, pay themselves back because of the salary you will make.
Now with obiden, they're going to make us, the people that work hard and pay taxes, pay for the person that made a poor personal investment.
I have a degree in philosophy and a masters in economics and a job in an unrelated field. I make money in investing in american stocks and other things. I don't care what your major is in, my statement is not about what your degree is in. It is about the juxtaposition of wanting individual freedom and then criticizing those who pursue it.
I would just like to add, I've made poor investments in stocks and never gotten my money back from the government. These people need to learn self responsibility.
You have a degree in philosophy and masters in economics and you still can't understand the point being made in a simple meme. I don't believe it. You are being willfully obtuse because you are personally offended at the philosophy major part of it. This isn't about anyone who chooses to major in philosophy; it's about a certain subset of people with a certain attitude.
Education is bad now? We speak of individual liberties but tease those that make decisions that don't align with our ideals. Silly.

No problem with pursuing it, just don’t bitch (and vote “change”) when you can’t get a job with an Interpretive Dance degree. That’s the point

Amen
The more PHDS you have the dumber you are. Its a fact.
With you? Yes.
Did you down vote me for wrongthink? big brain move
I down voted you because this movement is about more than numbers. Caring about a down vote, rather than my response is so foolish it makes me giddy.
Pathetic.
You know what this meme is getting at. Don't pretend you don't.
Don't pretend you do. You're for individuality but tease those that pursue it. Maybe the system you choke on is partially your problem?

I agree with this, well said. Perhaps I am taking things a bit too personal. Thank you.
