You seem to be arguing for choosing a major with some job prospect, but Ford seems to be arguing for not taking any courses that aren't directly beneficial to some economic purpose.

I disagree with Ford's stance at least. As an old tech person, my non-tech uni courses were most beneficial to my overall capabilities in my tech job, at least in the long run. Creative writing, ethics, history, and tort law were things I took because they were interesting (to me at least). None of these had much relevance to tech as far as I could see, but I've been much better off for them.

Definitely this. There are utilities here with 5% service charges for paying online. I'd rather pay by check

Have you never been approached by a weird dude at a gas station who is selling "fresh" meat out of a cooler in the trunk of his car?

We live in very different places. (Not sarcasm, this has happened to me about a dozen times)

I hope it's a callback to this gem:
