Women's studies - it's a strange one
Women's studies consistently cranks out graduates who are up in arms about women making less money than men.
But oddly enough, women's studies doesn't teach you anything useful for making money.
My older sister has women's studies bachelors degree. After graduation she ended up fetching coffee and typing memos for male bosses who treated her like (and called her) the "office broad." She was vindicated - men are pigs, men do treat women poorly, etc.
Then after lots of encouragement from her dad and I (both men) she went back to school and got an associates certificate in accounting. Now she works with "the cutest and most considerate guys she's ever known." And she gets paid over four times what she made being the "office broad."
Maybe the first thing you should learn in women's studies is that if you want to be treated as an equal, you need to get skills that make you an equal.
