Christ how can art be a college major.

Actually, if you consider college to be a place of higher education instead of a glorified vocational school, arts & sciences would be among the few that would be left.
And maybe you did, but not everybody goes to school on daddy's dime.

Common do you honestly believe someone wold pay their own way through school and be an art major. Art major=rich spoiled brat. Everyone knows it but i have the balls to say it.

i've never made that connection in my life... you mistake balls for ignorance.

Nice BS poll. BTW, I'm rhetoric and classics - majors better than pretty much anything on there if you want to go to law school, which I might.

What you're saying is true if you look at college as a glorified vocational school (like what ergeorge said). I'm a philosophy major and a psychology minor. I love that stuff, and can't comprehend my friends who take majors to "get a job" while they're miserable in their classes - to counter your arguement, I think most of the majors that are there to serve as a mere jumping stone to a job should be disallowed in colleges - go to a vocational school.

i agree with your sentiment, but i have trouble thinking of any such major.

In most cases if someone majors in Art, they are wasting their parent's money. If they are paying their own way they are wasting their own money. Almost none of the great artists and thinkers had Art degrees. If you want to learn Art, learn on your own and attend Art schools, get to know some real artists and have them instruct you. The Art major in colleges these days are really for people who don't want to major in anything else for the most part. Psychology is going the same way, although it is still more valuable than a degree in Art.

The above goes for traditional "art" as well as dance, music, and related "art" majors as well.

And how do you know this? What major are you in? :disgust: If you want to say something about art majors, don't say anything unlee you're taken an art class other than Art 101.

No, you just have the narrow-sighted prejudice to believe that you're right.

Actually i'm in the process of switching my major to to EE. And I am doing the pre-requisites for that right now, and I can tell you the curriculum is a hell of a lot harder than the Art majors. I could crank out an undergrad Art degree with very little effort right now. Just about everyone on this board could.

Really, interesting. So you're saying that you used to be an art major? And a dance major, a music major and a psychology major? How do you know that it's that easy? You really should talk to a few of my friends who were denied enterance as a music composition major and how easy it is to get a degree in that (BTW, they all had above a 3.5 GPA and above 30-scores on their ACT's - they're nolt idiots). And you're telling me that my decision to not to opt for a double major in philosophy and art is wrong? Well if it's so easy, can you read Aristotle's Metaphysics, write about how this work applies to the later works of Kant and finish an oil painting in human composition in a week for me? Maybe you're a superhuman who never needs sleep, but I'm sorry, I need rest once in a while. Spending all my time until 1 AM on a Sunday trying to finish an art project that I've been working all week on, only to have a full paper to write as soon as I get home is not my idea of "easy", jackass.

:disgust:

There's a difference between having a "passion" for something and just wading through your meaningless existance . . ..:|

Why? I would have to say public safety and the justice system is one of the MOST important jobs in society.
