Why everything we assume about a degree in humanities might be wrong.
. And I have never — never — found a consistent and coherent definition of a “practical major,” anywhere. The meaning of the term floats around depending on the whims of the person using it, and those whims are usually dependent on mockery. The entire concept seems to exist simply to serve as an instrument to blame people for their own economic misfortune.
Some will say that a practical major is one that gives you the best opportunity for secure employment. Setting aside the fact that life spent in singular pursuit of money is soul-deadening, this strikes me as great advice for people in late adolescence who are in possession of a time machine.
The wisdom of that approach may have recently grown more obvious, as there’s a chance that the working world will change considerably once again. I’m something of a skeptic about the degree to which machine learning–derived AI systems will change the world. But either way, their rapid development and expansion, and the potential attendant effects on the labor market, should make it clear: Technology can change the economy faster than any person can reasonably be expected to keep up with.
