american college makes no sense to me. so I can graduate in anything by choosing the easy subjects only?

That's what a minor is supposed to be. Something to diversify your education. Why don't you tell me the utility of majoring in electrical engineering and minoring in maths, whereby this minor requires no additional coursework. What's the point? You didn't learn anything extra.

Americans be like yeah pre-med is killing me I have a 500 word paper on Andy Warhol due tomorrow

Europoors be like USA Americans Americans Americans USA Americans Americans

A college degree is only worth what you het out of it. "Easy A" degrees aren't employable.
The college expects adults to understand this and take responsibility for their own education.

We should just abolish trying to translate degrees and all that and speak purely in terms of ISCED (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Classification_of_Education)
>Lower secondary and below (0-2)
A level of education a child is expected to eclipse eventually. If you don't even manage that you are either massively sandbagged or developmentally challenged. The level of education should suffice for plumbers and the like, blue collar.
>Upper secondary (3)
Something you should manage to do by the time you are legally an adult, qualifies you for secretary work, white collar.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Anything past this point should only concern specialists/an absolute minority of people.
>meme shit (4-5)
largely busywork that only exists to weed out more people for certain kind of work. Frankly the only reason these exist as upper secondary ++ and +++ for employers that want a slip that tells them the wagie has specialized practial knowledge.
>Bachelor/Master (6-7)
qualified lab worker/research assistant, not expected to manage their own research but make meaningful decisions on the ground floor. Master I would entrust with managing Bachelors.
>Doctorate (8)
Actual researcher expected to manage groups.
>TL;DR
it really is that simple. You can break the whole system down in like 4 tiers with pecking orders in each one. If your education system needs anything that is more complicated than that/expects for example Ba level education for simple white collar work, your system suffers terminal degree inflation beyond salvaging.

I have no idea how any of that works. I think I only had to pick one extra course and I choose something economics related.

How else to remember organic chemistry but with attaching a nice little story to each and every molecule?

I had the option of majoring in business admin and minoring in getting a private pilot license. Not rich enough to do it at the time though. Very sad, many such cases.

What are you yapping about? College is worth what the degree is worth. Employers aren't hiring people because they got the most out of their brainrot academic dogshow, they want to know you can do certain things, which a degree proves.

>majoring in Chemistry with a minor in Creative Writing
Yeah, that’s totally AI-proof. Two fields AI will never understand.

>>17042402
>had option
>no money
Then you never really had the option, did you?

AI doesn't understand creative writing. AI can do maths because it can automatically check if the result is correct to train itself, you can't do that with creative writing

>>17043748
Define "understand," anon.
If you mean "possesses a metaphysical ghost-in-the-machine that experiences the emotional qualia of a protagonist's journey," you're just moving the goalposts to protect your fragile biological ego.
If you mean "successfully maps the latent space of human narrative structures, tropes, pacing, and semantic relationships," then it understands it infinitely better than the average midwit posting on this board.
And you conflate “maths” with “chemistry” too. Shameful.

>>17043742
We're basically saying the same thing.
"What you get out of it" includes a job.

If a degree is in an "essy A" subjects then the skill involved is easily trainable and therefore worth less to an employer.

If there's something AI doesn't understand, then it must be useless

I could have allocated funds to that instead of something else. I could have borrowed money. I could have done it and not pay after. I had the option.
