minervadoe Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Quote Brooklyn Law School Anybody ever hear of it? The article mentions that it was a New York law school in the first paragraph, but saves the mention of the esteemed Brooklyn Law School for the second paragraph. Am I the only one who feels like that was intentionally misleading? Edited October 11, 2018 by minervadoe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually know three fine arts majors who have made fine careers. Must be the exception. Two are blacksmiths. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdTracker Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 A fine arts (or even liberal arts) degree used to be a satisfactory degree for stepping off to another and higher level of education. Now it seems to me more stepping down than anything else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it seems to me more stepping down than anything else. Very true. I knew a journalism major who took the degree to learn to write and went to law school. He cleaned up. Of my four degrees one is a liberal arts degree (surprise) in history. This will teach you to think! A solid knowledge in history is the sign of a first rate mind. Loved every minute of my time in that department. Would like to go back and get the PhD. Edited October 12, 2018 by Historian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would think of an art major being a blacksmith but look at some the knife makers that are truly artist.

Brown Hawk Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think that this is fantastically good legal training for lawyers these days. Think about it. They go into court, find a judge they don’t like, declare the judge illegitimate and walk out. They declare the charge to be microaggression and walk out. They don’t like the verdict, so instead of appealing, they walk out in protest. They show up in court in a g-string because they don’t want to show up in white power garments. Yep, absolutely fantastic legal training. Hawk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Sadly...this is the crap that has infected higher education. When I look back I had one or two nut jobs and some brillaint teachers. Hawk makes an interesting point. This is a place the American Communist Party decided it would have its greatest influence starting as far back as the 1920s. Get them young and they won't know the differences.

There is a randall number one frightening knife on display in the museum of modern art in New York City. I would gladly say that is art. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norton Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Probably most have never had a real job, or paid real taxes. They are simply children in big bodies. Life will teach them their professors are as out of touch with reality as they were when young students. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX OMFS Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I suggest the Kavanaugh jump off a building protest. If you don't like Kav you jump of a building to show solidarity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrtwuck Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 My favorite in that video was the cop. Holding his hand out like “what do you expect, get your butt out of the road and you won’t get run over”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tell my young daughter consider a medical career. It's a growth industry. A four year degree in nursing or a PA...and you are set! If you choose a fine art: Understand that being a painter: There are very few who become masters. You might find yourself working hard in other industries. I wanted to write the great novel. Perhaps some science fiction when i was 18. I published two short stories. I am no Issac Asimov. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA's seem to be a hot job right now and they make good money and can find work most anywhere. She's strong in math doing AP math through H.S. so that should be beneficial.
