Why would anyone think that because they are conservative that they can’t find a spouse in the US? It may depend on where you are looking. I have friends who went to bars, but they were not really looking for a conservative guy. I was in church and that is where I met my husband. So, to those who are conservative, you can find a spouse in the US. While I have to agree that money is not everything, you do need enough to survive. So, don’t go into debt just for a dream. (For one thing, school loans stay with you until you pay them or you die.) Look for something you like, that’s compatible with your values. Also, make sure you have the required aptitude and skill for the major and that when you graduate, you can get a job in order to pay for your living expenses and to pay back your school loan. God Bless.

Thank you for the review. I’m 17 and plan on receiving a Masters Degree in Architecture and an Associates or Masters Degree in Business Administration as well. It’s comforting to know my subjects are fundamentally and economically healthy. I’ll be sure to enlist in a worthy college.

“Thanks”, the entire point of this article is not to attack religion, as this is the way you portrayed it. Instead, the information is derived from multiple factors such as monetary payoff and employment. For you to call this a thread for “atheism” and “socialism”, displays your incapability to see through your own personal beliefs and bias. I’m happy to hear you’ve supposedly succeeded in life through obtaining your degree, but to state your “Catholic Teaching”, have guaranteed you success is less than accurate. “The plural of anecdote is not data,” that being said you shouldn’t place yourself or any faith/ major on a pedestal simply because you have turned nothing into something. In most cases majors such as religion and “linguistics” won’t get you far in life. Anyone who is reasonable though, can see that there are success stories for every major. Simply to end with an insult much like you chose to do, you my friend are not only ignorant, but also biased to anything that does not have a cross on it, and I hope that after you die you realize God is actually and “a giant reptilian bird”, “Flying spaghetti monster”, or better yet…. NOT THERE! P.S I find it funny you claimed to have met your wife in China, but then you proceed to call the author of this article a socialist. Cheers.

The article is really good but lacking in some intelligence. I wouldn’t have met my Asian wife if I hadn’t studied Linguistics and went to China to teach English after I graduated. I probably would have stayed in America and met no one, because I’m from an ultra-conservative religious minority. Your atheist, “dollars-and-sense” approach doesn’t jive with reality, whereas Catholic Teaching does. Lives, careers, college majors, are an organic whole. However, these choices are somewhere between how much money your family needs and you may need and what your God-given talents and interests are. Don’t think you’re so smart, reality is so chaotic that you won’t be able to engineer your own happiness – temporal or eternal. I know a Russian daughter of a Moscow investment banker, now a financial adviser. She’s miserable, selfish to the bone, and lonely, making however much money and about to be deported, last I heard of her. So much for atheism and socialism, you moron.

“A good degree from a bad school can turn out to be worthless.” This is so true! Damn! I wasted my 3 years in a useless college! I’m glad I’ll be transferring to a good university soon.

I’ve a BA in Political Science at UF and a JD from Capital- best choices made yet- everything depends on what one wants. Explore a thought just for the sake of the thought, and not only learning a trade? Youbetcha!
