Blame society for not telling uninformed children that these studies are worthless.

I don't even know why there are fields like gender diversity. At best the graduates get a token job and they end up earning less then the cleaning lady.

As soon as a new crisis strikes, their token jobs will be the very first to be cut.
It really seems like the media drives societal standards i speak for usa.

You assume promises will be kept. Spoiler alert: they won't. When the vortex going down the drain spins fast enough, retirement accounts and pensions will be pilfered either directly or indirectly through massive printing of money. The elites will burn everything to maintain the status quo as long as possible, before flying to Switzerland or a private island to ride out the collapse.

The bigger picture in that question was are (useless) fields such as MFA, MBA, gender studies, and philosophy useful in comparison to a bottom-teir (hehe) health care workers.

No. No they simply aren't. This is coming from someone who loves art, feminism, and philosophy. They're hobbies.
Right. Except Aristotle was more than a philosopher and actually made real tangible contributions to various legitimate fields, which the people you mention do not; that's why it doesn't work as an analogy.

Someone is itching to have another racial tirade deleted by the moderators.

You're not able to look past the shiny parts and see that Aristotle is just some random dead philosopher, there's several to choose from, Wonkie was using to represent "useless" degrees.

I've read that Aristolian logic is a big part of why the world is as fucked as it is though. Everyone sees things in black and white and aren't very good at looking past the shiny parts.

People are like A=B=C=D.

You're not even the same person you were 5 seconds ago.

What does it really mean to be a philosophical sociology/gender studies major in a society raised on post-modernism?

Deconstructionism is a good way to break out of ideological prisons. Too many people certain about things, and while that's nice... It's not reality
