[quote=Anonymous]Didn’t read the whole thread, sorry, but my guess is that a fair amount of people in this area went to a SLAC, had a great time, and make a reasonable salary. And they want other parents to realize the benefits of a liberal arts education. I went to Wesleyan in CT and my spouse went to a huge UC school, so we’ve seen both sides. Both of us were STEM majors and we got STEM PhDs from the same grad school. My spouse is constantly startled at how much I learned and retained in my really amazing non-science classes - I’ll happily expound for hours on American art from 1865-1945, social psychology, government (political action committees, gerrymandering), John Stuart Mill, etc. I actually think I enjoy life more because of this liberal arts education. We do fine financially as well - I made 3x what my spouse makes; however, his job is a labor of love and “good for the world”- which is made possible by my salary.[/quote]
