Many times universities will tell students how great a degree (every degree) is, and actively encourage them to enroll in useless ones.

Let's not talk about earning potential, that is the yoke of the capitalist. Instead, let's talk about the true value of education, the power of what you learn.
What exactly could you expect to learn from a "master of social engineering?" Forsooth, you'd be better off in a class of Calligraphy, or locking yourself in a room for a year with The Complete Works of Shakespeare.
Don't know where you live, but around here, different stores have different quality produce. If I go to FoodMax, I get fruit exactly like you describe. If I go to Safeway, the fruit is much better, and 50% of the time has good flavor (you still have to feel it in the store to make sure). There is a small market nearby that is even better (although the other small market is worse), and the local farmer's market often has really great stuff.
The problem isn't the fruit variety, it's because the fruit all gets picked at the same time, but the fruits ripen at different times. Thus you choose a time to pick them when most of the fruits will not be rotten, which means most of them are not yet ripe.
However, so long as your rank and file developers don't think about security and how an attacker would go at their code pretty much all the time, there's no way a security team is going to be able to keep up with the 'organic' code,
You can say that again. As long as programmers have power to write turing complete code, they have power to write security vulnerabilities.
If I had to guess, the two most common security flaws are "sql injection" and "XSS." C buffer overflow is distant in the ranking, and exploiting it is even harder (because of kernel protections in every kernel).
The sad thing is "doing it right" doesn't take longer and can even go faster. An easy example is SQL injection attacks: use parameterized queries, and you have no problem with them. It takes no extra time to do that, and it eliminates the attack vector.
There is not a single element of the Windows UI that does not borrow heavily from Mac. What is Apple going to do, sue them? They already tried.
Instead of focusing on this stuff, Apple should instead focus on making a decent piece of hardware: like a keyboard that doesn't suck. I'm sure someone in the world likes that keyboard, but there don't seem to be many.
If you are criticizing democracy in general, what do you propose as an alternative?
I'm not, I'm pointing out that if your solution worked, it would work by democracy alone. So your solution is superfluous. No need for unions in that case.
Often they cannot promise such up front because they have actually have a unionized work-force in order to start negotiations with employer
I don't trust promises that aren't made. In that case, what benefit is there to having a union? The hope that some undefined thing might get better in the future?
Nah. If it were just a matter of dues, it mostly wouldn't be a problem. But what do you get for your dues? Seniority rules and another layer of bureaucracy that doesn't care about helping you.
If you have a bunch of programmers who can't focus and look at their phone every five minutes, then project management will help them out.
On the other hand, if you have developers who know how to self-motivate, and figure out priorities, then no, project management merely serves to make the suits feel comfortable.
The goal of good project management therefore should be to help the first group of programmers develop the skills of the second.

Sometimes........circumstances happen.
why cant they show me when i have liked or followed ANY propaganda?
They do.....it's called "the list of pages I liked." Those pages weren't created to make you feel good.
All things considered, the biggest surprise of the current federal government (including congress with the president) is how little they've actually been able to accomplish.
Woosh.........who is laughing? I was being completely serious. What can you learn from a "Masters of Social Engineering?" How to use twitter?

I can cobble together a program to achieve various objectives, but I'm hardly ever proud of the quality of the code.
IF you are aware that is what you are doing, then you're already in the top 80th percentile of programmers.

Life is an investment and a gamble. Nothing is for sure.
If that's the best a union can offer I'm not joining a union. The risks of clogging up processes are real, too.

In most unions, members vote for the union leaders. Don't like em? Change em. Other voters disagree with you? Then persuade them of your better way.
If that worked so well, we could just get good leaders for our country in the first place.
As far as "not helping", union members earn more on average than non-union members for similar positions.
That's true, if a union came in and offered me a reasonably good raise, I would vote for them.
Nah. If it were just a matter of dues, it mostly wouldn't be a problem. But what do you get for your dues? Seniority rules and another layer of bureaucracy that doesn't care about helping you.
Smalltalk would have been a much better choice than Swift, but oh well, you can't have everything.
So if people don't want unions, that's OK. But if people want minimum wage, that's not OK? A bit hypocritical there.
That's not what hypocritical means.
Why should union membership be exempt from such a pattern but other things not?
Mainly because people don't want it.
but I heard ZERO indictments of him about his political leanings
That's a good point, I can't think of an example.
Fascinating comment, thanks.
In my experience, nutbag narcissistic project managers destroy the self-motivation of developers
That seems to happen more often than not.
You don't need to link to Roy Spencer (if you don't want to). You can link to peer reviewed studies. There are plenty of studies showing they're wrong. This too.
If you have a bunch of programmers who can't focus and look at their phone every five minutes, then project management will help them out.
On the other hand, if you have developers who know how to self-motivate, and figure out priorities, then no, project management merely serves to make the suits feel comfortable.

well she does have a dog with her in the picture on the website.
