Charlie Kirk believes we need more trade school students and fewer college students. This is not the first time we've seen this argument made on the Right: the fact that not all young people should attend college, and that trade school is an excellent alternative.
Especially when we see so many people with useless degrees buried in student loan debt.
This was Kirk's example:
We need more electricians and less sociology majors.

He's right.
So, of course, he triggered this Sociology professor:
Sociology professor here.

You couldn’t pass my Intro course. https://t.co/XzkXIb7Uis
Dude. Bro. Just no.
Students take sociology because the university forces them to take it to bilk some extra money out of them on the path to getting a real degree.
— Fuzzy Chimp 🇺🇸🍌 (@fuzzychimpcom) July 22, 2025
Yes, because sociology is designed to produce career activists, not critical thinkers. If you're in the top 1%, you land a post at the State Department or become a professional "democracy" advocate, flying to conferences in far-off countries. Everyone else ends up broke, stuck in…

But who's going to light your class or bring power to your projector?

See the hierarchy of usefulness here? Sociology is near the bottom, just above basket weaving.

Hey, at least basket weaving serves a purpose. There are many people who use baskets.
Maybe?
Most useless courses in modern college. And that’s taking feminist queer theory into consideration

Sociology isn’t even a hard science. It’s not a complex course. I took it as an elective all 4 years of high school.

An amoeba could pass your course.

Let's hear it for amoebas!
You’re proving his point though

Over and over again.
You couldn't install a light fixture.

For most of us, you're there just to fill out credit hours. Rote memorization. Quickly forgotten.

I took intro sociology, it was considered the easiest A of the fuzzy study prerequisites.

Can’t do basic electrical in my house.
I’ve needed an electrician many times in my life, never needed a social worker.
Same, girl.
Same.
If the prof's goal was to prove Kirk right, SUCCESS!
A+ even.
If not?
Woof.
