The first year of an arts degree is taken up with a series of talking points, discussed in small cube rooms somewhere downtown or, on Fridays, outside on the grass with cookies and kool-aid. These lectures are typically presided over by forty-something white women wearing ethnic clothes in a cloying attempt to appear at ease with multiculturalism even though it scares the shit out of them. The primary point of discussion in year one is: * How can I go tens of thousands in dollars in debt while acquiring absolutely no vocational skills? * Apologetics * Revisionism * Self-loathing

abstract	The first year of an arts degree is taken up with a series of talking points, discussed in small cube rooms somewhere downtown or, on Fridays, outside on the grass with cookies and kool-aid. These lectures are typically presided over by forty-something white women wearing ethnic clothes in a cloying attempt to appear at ease with multiculturalism even though it scares the shit out of them. The primary point of discussion in year one is: * How can I go tens of thousands in dollars in debt while acquiring absolutely no vocational skills? Eighty percent of arts degreeers drop out answering this question, while the remaining twenty percent enter year two, where more substantial issues are addressed. These include: * Bad things white people have done to brown people * Bad things men have done to women With these subjects mastered, arts degreeers enter year three where they are likely to encounter male teachers who have undergone the tenure ceremony—an ancient blood oath with the master dragon of the genius factory, which allows recipients to pretend that everything they say matters and that their screwing around has some sort of poetic meaning. The actual courses take a variety of titles in this year, but core subjects remain: * Why science isn’t really that important (e.g., The Light Speed "Constant" and Heterosexual Lesbianism: the Hermetics of Patriarchy) * Why the West hasn’t actually accomplished anything (e.g., Colonialism and the Disinheritment of the Sunflower: The Myth of Progress BUSTED!) It is also said how ever that the only difference between a arts degree and a pizza is that a pizza can actually feed a family of four. This accomplished, the few arts degreeers remaining return to a more serious look at the issues that underpin the arts degree in year four: * Apologetics * Revisionism * Self-loathing This year complete, the acquirer of the arts degree can a) become a French bus driver, or b) join the other downwardly mobile doing telemarketing.
