Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

The Liberal Arts being a joke degree holds up.
Only if the only point of college is to get a job.
There's more to life than work and a good liberal arts degree exposed you to a lot of it.
... It's not worth 200k of debt but it's great to learn.
When it comes with that 200K of debt the ONLY point is to get a job. Employers want employees with degrees because degrees come with debt and people who are in debt are less likely to quit a shitty job.
Having a degree that might not necessarily be relevant to the job does suggest to an employer that you have the ability to complete tasks as assigned to a satisfactory degree and generally indicates some amount of communication, problem solving and other soft skills.
Also technical colleges and community colleges exist. You can spend a lot less than 200k getting a degree
In my mind it’s not so much a joke degree inasmuch as it really relies on the student to have their own plan for employment and the usefulness of the degree.
Some people have connections, ideas, outside the box thinking, or independent wealth.
Sounds about right coming from… vlad of 1976
