Free Speech and Microaggression on college campuses

I honestly never really experienced any of that when I was in college.
Nor did I but I was among science and math nerds.

Same for me (and woody). Geeks don't really care, and just get on with their thing, really.

Hahaha. Yeah well we were kind of peace hippies and saw tons of it. I think that's when I began to become disenchanted with the left.

I just went to class, work, and parties/the bar while I was in college.
Sometimes there'd be people gathered at the SU for something or whatever but I'd just see if they had free food and that was about it. Never paid attention otherwise.

Pretty much.
Engineers at Michigan essentially have a while campus to ourselves. No time for rallies or anything.

Yeah if you took time away to protest you would fail out of school in the difficult majors. The Modern Urban African American Woman studies majors had all the time in the world.

Haha. That got me thinking, if you are a theater major what would be the benefit of getting a masters?
-
It's screwed up that pretty much all of the majors cost the same (slight variance between colleges, but generally cost is about the same)
You can get in the hole like $50,000 to get a liberal arts degree that isn't even good for a management position at McDonalds.

Not much unless you are planning to teach and possibly run a theatre department in a school that has one. If you were deep into the theatre arts, stage construction etc you might have a leg up on the competition with the stage hands Union.Haha.

As a performer I would guess the most valuable experience would come from networking, especially if you studied in New York.
That and on stage experience. Anywhere you get to use your chops makes you better.
Hell as a matter of fact a bachelors isn't worth very much if you plan to act.

Yeah I wouldn't think that getting a degree would matter all that much unless it is some mind blowing acting school. Like doing trades, actually doing the job is more valuable than class room education.

No doubt. The thing about being in New York is let's say you are in the same class with Gene Hackman or Dustin Hoffman or Robert De Niro...
As for experience indeed, I often argue with kids who refused to play cover songs and would rather work on the originals in a basement. I tell them any stage experience makes you better and you can use those skills when the time comes to play your own music. That's better for your craft than 40 hours a week at Lowes.

I think that's true for almost any job. I hardly use any of the detailed knowledge I got at school. Just the high level stuff

Disagreeing over here. I use a lot of the details I got in my masters, frequently.
Another large part of it is also learning a different way of handling projects/tasks, so it isn't necessarily the content, but the skills you have acquired to pass the masters.

I use "problem solving" "communication" and other broad skills that I developed in school, but not necessarily Differential Equations or Heat Transfer. That's what I meant.
But I'm in manufacturing, not design work.

I need for example to identify why a yield curve looks a certain way, what are the driving factors, do the results we're getting make sense. None of that I could have done without my masters.

Well the protesting crap is mostly your English, Philosophy, (whatever) studies majors. I'm doubling in the business school so I have way more important stuff to do than go to useless protests complaining about how someone's feeling are hurt.
