You seem to be arguing for choosing a major with some job prospect, but Ford seems to be arguing for not taking any courses that aren't directly beneficial to some economic purpose.

I disagree with Ford's stance at least. As an old tech person, my non-tech uni courses were most beneficial to my overall capabilities in my tech job, at least in the long run. Creative writing, ethics, history, and tort law were things I took because they were interesting (to me at least). None of these had much relevance to tech as far as I could see, but I've been much better off for them.

You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:

  • 2001: A Space Odyssey
  • Planet of the Apes
  • The Secret of NIMH
  • many John Wayne movies including True Grit

Just like society's thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

He doesn't even need to describe quality. Just say that he appreciated all the attention that Trump gave to the balls.

It took my old ass way too long to realize that you were talking about the Imagine Dragons song (which was definitely overplayed) and not the absolute banger of a song from The Firm.

Looks like it does, at least in "private spaces"

(I'm assuming that CA means California and not Canada)

Illinois requires two party consent for recording in-person conversations at least.
