rick scott is an idiot!!
He wants to get rid of college majors "like anthropology" where there are no jobs and replace them with STEM majors!

Scott: Anthropology and journalism don’t pay, and neither do capes

----------------------------------------------------

“We’re spending a lot of money on education, and when you look at the results, it’s not great,” the governor told a luncheon crowd of the Northwest Business Association in Tallahassee. “Do you want to use your tax money to educate more people who can’t get jobs in anthropology? I don’t.”

To that end, Scott said he planned to propose emphasizing higher-education spending on more applied science fields, technology and engineering.

“If we don’t think about how we can be better competitors than these other cities, states and countries, we won’t win,” Scott said. “I like competition,” he continued, comparing Florida’s job growth this year to his former state, Texas. ”I don’t want to be third, I want to be first.”

----------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, Scott can't read and doesn't look up anything before he puts his fat foot in is own mouth:

"Anthropologists and Archeologists generally receive a Master's degree before they enter the job market. Once employed, Anthropologists and Archeologists can expect to earn an average of $57,000 per year throughout their career.

In addition, over the next 10 years Anthropologists and Archeologists will be one of the fastest growing occupations. They should experience a 15.0% rate of growth during this time period. In respect to starting your own business, Anthropologists and Archeologists are seldom seen going the entrepreneurial route. Currently, 6.1% of the employment base is classified as self-employed.

Given the job environment today, Anthropologists and Archeologists can consider themselves quite lucky, as only 3.7% are currently unemployed."

1. As a geologist
we collaborate often with anthropologists and archeaoligsts, and I also agree that they have a better shot at finding a job in this environment then the traditional fields.
