The only STEM degree that you only need one degree to get a job in the thing is engineering. The others don't let you be a scientist or whatever with just one degree. They should mention that to the kids, "oh by the way you need a fuckin PhD to actually do this thing so if you find trigonometry to be a bit much now then it's going to be an uphill climb let me tell you".
Also, to be a doctor, you have to be good at remembering a lot of things. A LOT
They also need to mention that enginnering doesn't mean the guy that drives the steam trains that by the way they don't use anymore
STEAM can be rearranged to spell MEATS

I'm suspicious. How can you be studying Classics and not even have heard of Catullus, despite having studied 'the history side of things'?

Yes, I studied Classics, which is why I'm suspicious of what you're claiming about your education now. Catullus was "never an important figure"? Literary figures "don't figure into the history side" of the Augustan era (i.e the zenith of so-called Classical Civilisation)? Ovid, Virgil, these guys are unimportant to our understanding of Roman history? Sorry but you're bullshitting. If you were actually studying Classics in a proper university (i.e not some modern worthless degree factory), you would know who Catullus was, regardless of your 'double major'.

I doubt that. Also...

There's no such thing as 'pure history', no subject is studied in a vacuum, especially history, which involves necessary elements of geography, politics and literature (especially when studying Classical Civilisation - how can you study the Trojan War, for example, without studying the Illiad and the Odyssey?). Your school is a Mickey Mouse one I'm afraid.

Which is why it's a Mickey Mouse university, dear. If you were actually studying Classics you would be studying these from day one in conjunction with "pure history" (sic).
There's no way around this for you I'm afraid. You claimed to be studying Classics and you didn't know who Catullus was. This is like someone studying the High Renaissance and not knowing who Raphael was. Either you are lying (which I doubt) or your university is a modern liberal degree factory which churns out ill-educated young people for the fast food job market. You are wasting your time there.

Modern refers to ethos, not date of founding. The University of Baghdad was founded in 1067, one would hardly call it modern. By modern I mean they focus on doling out worthless qualifications rather than knowledge; they focus on making sure all students graduate at all costs rather than preparing young minds to gather, analyse, evaluate and interpret information.
