I started as PoliSci and once I hit American Government, I got so sickened by what I was learning that I had to switch degrees. Didn’t stop learning about politics, just didn’t want anything to do with them.
For like a few years after I graduated I was going through my reformist phase and sort of wanted to go back and get a minor in PoliSci or something, but after I started getting more into theory I moved to the revolutionary camp and am at least thankful for not going further in debt.
It’s funny because I had 2 history professors and a econ professor that were all fairly cynical and jaded and I think they are partially responsible for my college era radicalizing. My econ prof was a former banker and was
like “this is stupid and we just make money by using your money to make more money and it’s all stupid.” One of my history profs basically taught the same material you will get from reading “A People’s History of the United States” and watching the documentary “The Untold History of the United States.”
I also had a PoliSci professor that I appreciated because he taught in a fairly unbiased way that I was unable to peg if he was Dem, Rep, or other. It was a rarity since the college I went to was in the TX panhandle.
