#5 I have a degree in Conflict Management, and it's not necessary squishy stuff, though a lot of the practioners are.

At George Mason U. back in the day we spent more time about how to recognize a dispute that was NOT resolvable, as opposed to blathering about the process being a panacea.

#7 You know, if you could assemble a staff that had BOTH a graduate with a degree in peace management AND a graduate with a degree in Activism, I bet ya the shake machine would be in very capable hands!

#8 Go read LGF about foggy bottom. There's a post from someone who works there.

Usual nonsense, we work for America, must do deals, yada, yada.

#9 If you Major in this you might want also Major in Woman Studies. That way you will be dual-unemployed! Frank i don't think that someone with this degree could handle the rapid pace of fast-food. Maybe they could work at Walmart, in the shoe department? Lots of 'soft degree' types working there.

#10 If I had a child and that child told me that he/she was going to go for a degree in either a)women's studies, b)Peace and Conflict Studies, or c) activism, I would spend the tuition on an RV and nice handgun after dropping them off at Burger King myself.
I would kick their ass first, of course...
