[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify, I'm not asking if someone can get a GOOD job with a CS minor.  Just something better than one could get with just a liberal arts degree.  Basically I'm wondering if a CS minor could be a bit of insurance for someone who wants to major in the liberal arts.

[b]I was wondering if you are an idiot but now I’m sure[/b]. [/quote]

Because no one worries about their kid getting a liberal arts degree. [/quote]

[b]I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic, but I have two kids getting liberal arts degrees, and I hold one myself, and no, I'm not worried at all.  Why would I be[/b]?[/quote]

Well your kids are graduating during a great job market, and maybe you went to a top school, had contacts, or were an academic super star.  But your run of the mill liberal arts grad from average state U, who doesn't have the good fortune of graduating during a fantastic economy has something to be concerned about.  [/quote]

I neither went to a top school, nor had contacts, nor was I an academic superstar.   I am just your average hard-working person, hold a philosophy degree, and make $200,00 a year.

My kids are smart and hard-working. I’m not worried about how they will fare with their liberal arts degrees.[/quote]
