Years ago I read a curious tweet by a young woman who had just graduated from university. She was a lefty with an attitude.

She had one of those weird degrees that included feminism and gender studies mixed in with green ideology.

I wish I could remember the name because it had a bizarre official title. Anyway having graduated with a degree that qualified her to do absolutely nothing, she started looking for a job.

And the tweet was along this line, having just graduated with a degree in green feminism, must I resign myself to working as a part-time desk clerk at our local hotel?

The answer in one word is “yes”.

Because of this, Shad White, who serves as the auditor for the US state of Mississippi, has suggested the government should consider cutting funding to the social sciences and humanities university programs. Because in his words, they serve as little more than ‘indoctrination factories’ for the extreme left.

Also, when you graduate with such a degree you are basically qualified to do absolutely nothing, but well qualified to do it. You have no useful skills that would benefit an employer, so why is the government funding these useless degrees, White asks?

The Blaze provides more details:

Shad White, Mississippi’s State Auditor, suggested in a recent report that the state needs to change the way it approaches funding for its public universities. One of the suggestions he made was linking public investment to workforce needs, instead of treating every degree program as the same, according to the Associated Press.

White claimed that too many college graduates are fleeing the state after they receive their degree. A way to stem the bleeding would be to align degree programs with the demand in the labor market, according to White. The report was published in September, entitled “Plugging the Brain Drain: Investing in College Majors That Actually Work.”
