Are students pursuing for-profit jobs persecuted by liberal arts students at your U?

<p>A student pursuing a B.S. (Bachelor's of Science) in Economics is taking a class offered by the college of arts and sciences for fun. On first day introductions, he said he wants to be a lobbyist and work for special interest groups on capitol hill, there were audible signs of disgust with his answer. Now no one will sit near him, and people make "1%" jokes to him. </p>

<p>I, being smarter than him, publicly tell the liberal arts students that I am interested in activism, contribute small sums of money to activists, and actively participate in the local Occupy, only to keep an eye on the movement to alert police and private property owners of their plans if necessary and keep tabs on the kinds of connections the members have to criminal, drug, or terrorist groups if I find those connections to alert police. </p>

<p>I am absolutely floored by the amount of students that think that profit is evil. What's wrong with profit? God forbid someone interested in the stock market took a class there. We want you to succeed.</p>

<p>Students seeking for profit careers have been persecuted all throughout history. All we want is to be treated in a fair, impartial manner. Why have so many students who bought into class warfare mumbo jumbo and seek non-profit careers blame us for their own shortcomings through the millennia?</p>

<p>No .</p>

<p>Yes. I still have nightmares of the Night of Broken Glasses when a mob of angry English and History majors brutalized a large group of engineering and computer science students. The University of Maryland never recovered.</p>

<p>This is a joke, right? Are you seriously spying on people in your spare time?</p>

<p>Go through the OP’s post history for a good laugh. </p>

<p>Sometimes obnoxious but generally very funny. </p>

<p>On the bright side, the OP could have a good future as a conspiracy author :)</p>

<p>Too bad.
Really.
Obviously not a problem.
Let it go.
Liberal arts vs. Business not a real problem.
