question for college educated people older than 25: if you had it to do over again, and you could go back to school and pursue a career in academia, what field or fields would you go into to have the greatest positive impact (from a Marxist’s point of view), which field would you choose? assuming you can start from the very beginning, i.e., get a new bachelors before moving into a masters and a phd

question for the zoomers: if you could study anything at university without having to worry about whether or not you could make a decent living afterwards, with a view to making the world less shit, what would you study and why?

long story short, my parents have come into some money and i may have this opportunity and i want to choose my field of study wisely. when i went to college at 18 i double majored in french (good choice bc i love languages and the humanities in general, and it expanded my worldview outside of amerikkka) and business (bad choice bc lmao) and i don’t want to make the same mistake again. currently i’m thinking history because a) i’ve always loved history, from literally as long as i can remember and b) history is a weapon and i want to use it to behead the capitalists. im also interested in international relations, but only from a based point of view

note that if i do go back to school, it will be somewhere in europe, bc fuck paying for a university education in america lol worst mistake of my life

basically what i’m saying is, from the ivory tower of academia i will rain hellfire on the upper class until they are utterly destroyed, or i will die trying. tell me what to study in order to accomplish this

Death to America

    Academics have like zero effect on the world lol

    But like, fuck it, go to school for history. Whatever you want to study, just make sure there are faculty whose work you are interested in wherever you go.
