Weird college majors

[Toolmaker51]

Cryptozoology is one of my favorites.
The colleges quickly realized they can make really big bucks selling diplomas, not useful, post-graduate job directed, education. Make the courses trivial so any teenage airhead can graduate and any jerk can teach and your profits soar.

As a bonus, the system is self-sustaining. The only place a cryptozoologist is going to find employment is teaching at a college that does not yet have a cryptozoology department.

Facet of profit was evident, oh I don't know, in around about infinite number of cases; and singularly limited potentially employment opportunities; the one bright spot of a institution without program 'X' that in their curriculum has happened to me personally.

After applying to adjunct industrial arts positions locally (they had no program) then dropped it after examining capital costs of building a metals lab. Saw the slope before they did, during interview as panel asked generally 'how important certain processes were' and I answered "where and how do you think all this stuff comes to be?"

But just weeks ago, hauled almost 40 chem and/ or bio lab cabinets home bought from Habitat-Restore, that a mere community college saw fit to remodel. Very nice oak plywood cases, solid oak faces, sliding door frames (suspended on wheels, running in tracks), others are hinged, all with glass, cabinet locks, adjustable shelving and hardware. Guesstimating they averaged $250+ apiece originally, think I did OK for $10 each?
Going to ring interior perimeter with them, hung on French cleats; that I learned about in high school shop class.

I'm resisting urge looking into equipment seen needed in a cryptozoology lab and classroom...........
