Why do so many Somali women study useless degrees and go into debt for it?

[Warwaaqsame]

Such as African studies, ethnic studies, liberal arts, international studies.

 

[Apollo]

I wouldn't call any study useless. There is even some merit in those as they improve your verbal skills.

 

[Venetian]

I've never met a Somali girls with a degree like that.

They mostly do health care or teaching.

Some of those ''useless'' studies like Philosophy, Theology, and Archaeology are very interesting.

I can’t believe I’m gonna have to stick up for Xalimos (it goes against my principles) but:

•African Studies and Ethnic Studies
revolves around archaeology and Anthropology an area where not much research is done on Somalis so it’s very beneficial to have a future Anthropologist/Archaeologists

• Liberal Arts
It’s a transferable degree revolves around philosophy with many career paths. So if she enjoys learning it who am I to judge

Why do so many Somali men don’t even get a degree and are perpetually broke?

So that’s where they learn to give oral

Even a better reason on why they shouldn’t take these courses

 

[Caaro]

Why do so many Somali men don’t even get a degree and are perpetually broke?

90% of the somali men I know are working towards a degree or already have a degree (excluding gangbangers, even with them it would 60-70%)

Those are luxury degrees. You only do them if you have money.

 

[Basra]

I think i should get an honory literature degree.

This is why White people and Jews produce the most public intellectuals while Indians and East Asians produce no cultural/thought leaders. Ever noticed? The latter group doesn't study arts.

That’s a generalisation and you know it. Far more Somali men go to Uni then their counterparts.

If you want to have plenty of opportunities after you complete university take a degree in the technical or IT field.
