Even if you did manage to retire at 50, that’s unusual in the US (even 20 years ago). With the way the economy has been for the past 25 years, and the fact that wages haven’t really increased (whether entry level/non-degree jobs or not)—- it’s pretty unlikely someone with ANY degree would be able to retire at 50 or 60 years old.
While I’ll agree that there’s far too much political influence (both left and right) in academia, I think studying women’s history and sexuality is a useful thing. Depends on the teacher and school, of course. It also depends on the student. Plenty of people go to school for the sake of learning rather than trying to get a high paying job. Unfortunately, most people simply cannot afford to do either.
