I’ll keep it short this time. This is one of the most profound conclusions of my undergrad degree in political science.
It is obvious that not every degree is for you, you’d loathe most, slightly manage in some and definitely excel in a small set. But we seem to be stuck in earning potential or prestige and not much think about the ‘knowledge’ you’d be working with for at least 4 years.
Would it be torturous for you to handle the type of information you will be bombarded with? Because your degree constraint you to a specific type of information.
My degree in political science, or sociology or international relations public policy etc. in that regard, forces you to think like a hierarchial database where relationships between stuff are more important than the stuff itself. You are rewarded for finding or arguing for obscure relationships between bits of data in your ‘database’ Fundamentally nobody really cares about the bits.
This is different than, say nursing or computer science where the stuff itself may be more important or the way to convey the things for example. Like you’d in film school.
For reasons, we are all focused on the ends rather than which type of learner we are. We don’t select for learning process. I’d argue if you are focused on obscure or spurious relationship between stuff. You can study and excel in those fields.
