@Hob art

@Blast it isn't, bad joke

i heard a "debate" on the radio once about university debt in england. they had a theatre graduate on to argue why students should study for free. one of her arguments was that "all degrees add value to society, for example people with english degrees add atmosphere to coffee shops when they gather there for book clubs"

I keep biting the skin off of my fingers and I don't even know Im doing it half the time, help me niggas

@Soupmeme ***phew***

hahahaha

That#s retarded jim

holy fuck

tbh what im looking for in workplace is functional management. had way too many problems in previous workplaces where you have 3 different managers trying to get me to do 6 things at once.

Whole point of STEM was to move away from shit like gender studies tho innit?

god, that's wonderful

STEAM is good for high school education (gets people engaged in the STEM part), but nix that A in any other context

when your degree is reduced to the same level as a decorative pot plant in a coffee shop

lmao

A++

@ky put something that tastes horrible on your fingers

the A is for art, cause artists want to feel more important i guess

It worked for me to stop biting my nails

art isn't stem fuck awf

it's so arrogant to think your conversation is worth like 50k of public money lmao

Important.

The only way in which art could ever be considered part of STEM was if you looked at solely art conservation, which has aspects of chemistry and engineering and whatever. Even then, that's a reach.

rofl

art is important and all but..

I don't smell my fingers as I pick them tho

I could see architecture

but its a subjective field sticking out in a field of objective based studies

as it's mostly maths

Oh with your other hand? Shit

@Ruger exactly

if i could have ditched anything that had to do with art i'd have done so at age 10.

What is art anyways?

Wear gloves? Finger tape?

its not comparable to things that advance our society and standard of living

It's no my fault you majored in Tuba and Alternative Dance, why should I have to A. Pay for it B. Listen to you piss and moan?

I always hated colouring

Imagine 13 and 14 year old kids building models of viruses instead of learning a string of numbers, and you've got the argument for STEAM over STEM

degrees in underwater basket weaving

i can understand knowing the science behind what is pleasing to the eye though...

@Aya those are the only valid ones

@Deleted User I'd like to politely disagree. Conservation of important monuments and paintings and the like should be funded by the government because it's a super important part of a nation's culture
