It'd be worthwhile to have average ROI by major for each institution. College isn't always the answer.

Probably more lockdowns than facemasks (at least how people were using them)

I'd take the snakes. If you can find the thermostat you can turn it way down and immobilize the snakes.

He's probably just saying "consider the source" in a roundabout way. I'd only take stock tips from Pelosi.

I'm not blaming anyone for studying anything. I'm simply stating that the bill for that education will come due and it might be a good idea to have acquired a skill to help pay it if the projected return on investment is non-existent.
Ever have a conversation with people in your local service industry? I live in a major US city and this is a common story:
Do you think they'd have advised a younger version of themselves to do something else?
A nice thing about Physics: quantitative reasoning is a highly valued skill in many paying jobs and something you have to acquire along the way to learning things like QED. The end result of knowing, say, if a neutrino has mass isnt terribly useful.

Believe it or not, I have several degrees in physics. I worked in the field for a bit then left for industry. I don't disagree with the premise that diverse educational backgrounds can be a good thing, they are more often than not a fine pathway to being a very interesting bartender buried in crippling student debt. Why not double major in something useful on top of Art History?

How many successful filmmakers, authors and musicians do you know personally? Let's keep the bar real low: ones that can feed themselves and retire without supplemental income from a spouse that does something more pragmatic?
I was a Physicist before leaving for industry. What would you like to know about how science works and how it is funded?

It's hard to tell what's real these days -- all I see in the article is Pelosi talking out of her ass with no proof

Here's a guy that thinks career politicians can be honest. These people are a fucking disease that can only be cured with term limits.
