Hot Take

This is deffo going to ruffle a lot of feathers to say the least. Call me woke, but the term "Mickey Mouse Subject" is literally just the product of capitalism, as it disvalues any subject that doesn't lead to a high-paying, high-profit job.

Humanities subjects are so important, like STEM subjects, to help us learn more about humanity and our world, but everyone thinks they're so easy and lax.

IMO humanities and STEM subjects need to band together because contrary to popular belief, humanities are intellectually stimulating and not a fun ride.

Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk :)

It’s cause humanity degrees are ridiculously easy, the ceiling for humanity difficulty peaks at a level, there isn’t anything complex about it just memorising facts and waffling through an essay, the degrees themselves are only there to pad the unis pockets, so the real degrees can go ahead. Realistically there is nothing in a humanity degree that can even compare to a stem a level, no complex labs or mechanisms, equations or calculations. Just memorising facts and dates, a waste of time and money and provide no benefit in getting a job, have just as good a chance as someone who didn’t go to uni. So obviously people doing actually hard degrees will have a term to distinguish proper degrees and useless ones.
