I said was a hobby; not useless. For me to say something is useless for someone else is to presume their utility, which is weird. Those degrees I listed are hobbies which may be useful to someone who derives happiness from pursing said hobby.
Yeah, I know how you're trying to dress it up, while just really being silly and condescending. I had the same routine when I was a swlf important engineering major years ago
Oh sick, your an engineering major so you should be able to understand this. If someone pays to go to college and winds up with 50,000 in debt and a degree that has a median income below the national average then that makes the pursuit of said degree?
A hobby which that individual spent money to obtain. The same as going to a movie or having a Barnes and noble spending problem. It's certainly not a career orientated decision which improves their lives (especially not on a npv basis).
You're redefining a hobby. They're still degrees and professional pursuits, even if the job market is tougher for that degree versus say a STEM degree.
The job market is tougher for that degree than no degree. They spent money on something with negative NPV and career value which can't be justified on a career or NPV basis. Therefore, it's a hobby.
I'm not? Hobbies are stuff you spend money or time on because you enjoy them but they provide little to no value to you on a monetary basis (else that'd be a job/side hustle). The difference between a fun job and a hobby is if it actually makes money.
1) It's a hobby because it costs them money on a npv basis, they'd literally be better off career wise getting a normal job.
2) "just as respectable in their own right as an engineering degree." 😄 🤣 😂 get out of here you 🤡

Ah, yeah, that's pretty much what I figured you were getting at.
