Well, that last post is showing up with huge chunks missing or duplicated or in different order in different views and reblog chains because tumblr can’t handle cross-platform reblogs, so let’s do it alone here.
First off there are too coal mining majors, they\u2019re things like \u201cMining Technology\u201d and \u201cMineral Engineering\u201d, you find them in Tech and A&M schools and community colleges in mining areas. Like the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology.
Second off, I\u2019m not sure if OP\u2019s point is \u201cImagine a college for prostitutes, that\u2019s hot\u201d or \u201cImagine not realizing how many college girls today are experiencing their college years as an intro to sex work already, that\u2019s naive\u201d, I could see it either way.
But like the idea of post-secondary education to make women more appealing semi-mercenary mates\u2026 that\u2019s a real thing! That\u2019s finishing/charm school! (Which was about social mobility, landing a higher-ranking man, either in the sense of comfortable bourgeois or literal European nobility)
Not as transparently and been professionalized since then but that\u2019s part of what secretarial/stewardess/nursing school was about at midcentury.
The \u201cMrs. degree\u201d, college as a place to become a bougie wife. Cornell has a college, \u201cHuman Ecology\u201d, that used to be \u201cHome Ec\u201d and still has majors in cooking, sewing, childraising, and interior decoration (plus a pre-law/business track as a backdoor for Long Island boys to get an Ivy degree and become donors)
Like, in the 20th century the mainline Protestant churches tried to deal with the romantic drift of \u201cspouse as soulmate\u201d from \u201cspouse as partner in household as institution\u201d by introducing mandatory classes in their colleges to teach the students how to fuck each other better.
