The employment outcomes of Arts graduates

[AppleThief]

Do you think taxpayers should be paying for Commerce subjects?
No.

Lol! So what was the point of whinging about taxpayers paying for a specific Arts subject, when you're opposed to the idea of taxpayers paying for any university subject?
?!

What's your point?

I oppose taxpayers subsidies to the 106-043 The Victorian 'Supernatural'.

I was specifically asked:
  Brendan, what do you think of subjects in the vein of: Art, Pornograhpy, Blasphemy and Propaganda, The Victorian Supernatural, Film and the Body, Witches and Witch Hunting in Europe and Gothic Fictions?

No.

You whinged about it before that question.

And your point is?

I oppose taxpayers subsidies to the 106-043 The Victorian 'Supernatural' and Gothic Fictions etc.

Yes, but why bring up particular ARTS subjects you're opposed to taxpayer funding of?? You also oppose Commerce taxpayer funding

Here are the facts:
- you say you're not anti-arts
- you are anti-arts

You *might* infer that he gets a kick out of provoking Arts students into defensive responses
   Also, there's no point in calling him "anti-Arts." It's very general and hence meaningless and easy for him to deny. I estimate that he'll have harder insinuations to refute before he finishes uni

Done and done.

Because I oppose taxpayer funding of them? And if you haven't yet noticed, this thread is about Arts students.

- you are anti-arts

No that isn't "the facts", that's what you think to satisfy yourself.

What I actually said:

  Brendan, what do you think of subjects in the vein of: Art, Pornograhpy, Blasphemy and Propaganda, The Victorian Supernatural, Film and the Body, Witches and Witch Hunting in Europe and Gothic Fictions?

I do not think taxpayers should be forced to pay for that.

Not supporting having the taxpayer be forced to pay for X does not imply that I am somehow "anti-X".

The repetitive posting of any article you found which criticized arts degrees used to be mildly annoying, but now it's just getting really quite sad and downright pathetic.

I think we get the point.

Rudd had an arts degree..

 People have different interests to you Brendan. Some  are interested in furthering their general education, especially in the humanities field and therefore study arts.  I think you could use it to open your mind a bit, maybe learn something different besides how to make money.

Where have I said that I am not interested in "furthering ... general education" or "something different besides how to make money"?

How is this article "critical" of arts? It seems more like you don't like or can't handle the message, so you choose shoot down the messenger.

Such a predictable response.
Why wouldn't I be able to handle the message? I'm not even currently considering doing an Arts degree, I am looking to do Medicine, so as far as that goes I don't really care.

You might just be the "messenger", but you're certainly being very selective about the messages you deliver.
No one is forcing you or is requesting that you create these threads whenever you find an article which suggests Arts Graduates earn less money. And not only are you posting these articles repetitively, but you're also posting articles from different sources yet with essentially the same information, after people have already refuted it and given their counter arguments in other threads.

So what is your motive behind posting these? Because in all honestly, it's getting pretty damn pathetic now.
