I know tons of people who were Art/ History majors. A lot of this has no practical usage in WORK/ CAREER market unless you go into ACADEMIA or specific fields.
The problem is VOCATIONAL v/s DEGREES.
Even thought in India tons of kids are pushed to take up a PROFESSIONAL DEGREE: Engg, Medecine, Architecture, MBA etc. A lot of the SYLABBUS & Courses are stupid.
Educational Systems ALL OVER the WORLD.. need to be RE-VAMPED.
It should be a good balance of: People & Life Skills + Technical/ Vocational + Business/ Ops / Finance/ Accounting/ Law.. That need to be taught to everyone as LIFE SKILLS. Spread somewhere between High School & Bachelors/ Under grad...
And more specialized classes with PROJECT BASED grading & INBUILT Internships/ Training in that field.
Yes, doesn't mean you take away all the beautiful arts, poetry etc out of the equation. Let that be there on the periphery of what people want to take up. And people who can USE them towards their ACADEMIC or ARTSY career goals.
Let the educational systems be more PRACTICAL, EVOLVING & FLEX-ADAPT-IBLE than how they've been stuck.
Educational & Learning systems are too rigid.
On the other hand, people working in Consulting, LEARN at CRAZY pace on the Job.. pretty much all that could be learnt.. from different SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.
