[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all replies so I'm sure this point has been made, but a good liberal arts education should give you critical thinking and writing skills, which are fairly rare and useful in any discipline. I also think a holistic education has its own inherent value. In any case, if it's all about endgame, there are plenty of ways to make money with a liberal arts degree. I'm a lawyer and my husband is a consultant and we were both history majors. We are very comfortable financially.[/quote]

We have too many lawyers and consultants in this world and “liberal arts graduates ‘automatically’ have critical thinking skills and writing skills “ bs will not work anymore in our STEM dominated world except for lucky few with connections. [/quote]

Why do you dismiss critical thinking and writing skills as unimportant? It sounds as though you have a limited life of the mind and if so I’m sorry for your limitations.[/quote]

+1. And math and science have always been included in the liberal arts.[/quote]
