“Hey, I bet those degrees in Womyn’s, Queer, and various minority studies pay exceptionally well. (snicker)”
funny how those don’t seem to be mentioned, eh?
I call those the general victimhood studies, you know,
“I don’t want to conform to societal norms and I’m being marginalized for it so I’m a victim” studies.
They do.
They are a ticket to high-paying non-job jobs, like employment consulting, sensitivity consulting, curriculum design, corporate community relations etc.
There are probably 25,000+ jobs in the DC area that pay people $150K+ per year to do almost nothing.
If you are sued by the EEOC over perceived discrimination by a protected class, you can point to your employees or outside consultants who have one of these degrees to highlight how progressive and compliant you are.
It is insurance against rent-seeking.
From the article: "Note - these figures represent the typical annual combination of pay, bonuses, commissions and profit sharing earned by people who have been successful in working in these fields for at least 10 years">
I don't think those fields qualify, since there are no jobs in those fields.
