But what do you mean, train you better than others? A science degree isn't going to necessarily make you better at presenting your ideas in a meeting, or more approachable, or anything really. Except, you know, amazing p1000 or nematode skills.
Seens as I mentioned 3 non science and 2 science based degrees for the most popular degrees held in management I think it's clear I am not saying you need science for it. My the whole point was I was saying that buisness/management degrees do not put you anywhere near high up management and you are more likely to be managing a store .
Well if it makes you feel better to say it then more power to you, but it comes across as very arrogant.
I don't disagree it could be considered an arrogant statement but likewise if a formula 1 driver said he would come first significantly more oftern in races if he raced in pro league you wouldn't say he was arrogant. It's just stepping down the difficulty.
Well you have kind of hit the nail on the head for me there. A degree is not everything. Infact it's just a small slice of the pie. Taking a traditional subject will be beneficial, but lets not be overly bold with saying certain degrees are factually 'better' or 'harder' than others, because it's massively sweeping.
Your degree does still make a difference. My dad employs people for a team he runs in HSBC. Anyone who took anything with "studies" (e.g media studies) in it at a level is usually crossed off the list straight away unless they have a particularly good cv because those subjects do not attract intelligent people generally. Your choices have impacts.
How can you possibly argue that certain degrees arn't better than others. Are you honestly going to tell me a law degree is not better than a buisness degree? or a medical degree is not better than a computer studies degree? Have you been to uni and if so what did you study?
The work load between these degrees is monumental. My maths degree is 40 hours a week. Many other subjects are between 15-20 hours a week. I'm sure the workload of medicine/law etc is similar. Infact my sister did dentistry and her workload was so much greater than others that they get half the holidays off which other degrees get.
So no, not all degrees are equal. If they were you would probably see at least 50% of uni students dropping out compared to now if they were all on the same difficulty level as the top ones.
It makes me very angry how so many people have the attitude that it doesn't matter what degree you take. They feed so many people into uni and into dead end jobs and debt as a result. Teachers are particularly bad for this. Though interesting, the chemistry teachers in my school were very practical about what they advised.
Oh I just remembered, geography is another good one.
Just wanted to dispel the ideal that Social Sciences degrees aren't useful on a daily basis.
