I sat and watched an interview yesterday, and in the midst of this....a 'Scholar' came up for Whiteness Studies. Yes, she actually was some holding a degree of some type.....over Whiteness Studies.
I reflected upon the degree, and just sat there for twenty minutes....trying to contemplate where four to six years of college, and this degree (likely costing $100,000)....would lead onto. Basically, if you didn't get a job with some college, you are 'toast'. There's just not any business operations out there, or operations sector....that ask for people with 'Whiteness Studies degrees'.
Folks getting 'Blackness Studies degrees'? Probably. Latino Studies degrees? I guess.
The problem I see is that it really eliminates the path ahead in life for real work, and real value attached to the degree.
