Patreon Exclusive: Why a humanities degree isn't a death sentence (Patreon)

hey yall, so here's a very "rough and off the cuff" sort of video about why I think getting a humanities/social science degree is not only cool and based, but practical and fulfilling... it's something that's been on my mind and thought it was worth capturing and sharing...

i think when outlining a bit of what i wanted to say i was thinking of the humanities/STEM binary, so i focus a lot on how the humanities increasing importance in what we often think of as "technical" STEM fields. There’s lots of problems with the tech industry but since it’s going to be a big part of tomorrow’s economy it’s relevant to think about when planning a career.

above all, this is more "practical" guidance than anything. as in, it's for people thinking about pursuing careers in fields that seem to be unemployable, and how that is a misconception. but there is room in a different discussion for critiquing the systems that make this possible--like why we value some disciplines over others, why the most lucrative careers end up perpetuating oppressive systems, why our society encourages productivity above all else etc. And of course being critical of the ways oppressive institutions appropriate the language of sociology or critical theory towards capitalist ends. All important stuff, but not the focus of this video.

Hope this is either interesting or entertaining to someone!

Also I discovered how to use the "collections" tab--so you can now find my exclusive content in one place.
