[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I don't agree with the assertion that liberal arts grads aren't successful. I look forward to my son studying classics at a SLAC, and eventually going to med school after finishing the pre-med requirements through such a program. Will he do it? Don't know. Will I be a jerk about forcing him too? Absolutely not. But I think families can influence their children through providing a solid foundation, just like a solid liberal artus undergraduate major. If he wanted a trade, and it turned out he had an aptitude for fixing cars, carpentry, or plumbing, I would encourage the study of the trade and skip college. College shouldn't be a trade school in my view. I suppose others have a different image of the purpose of a university education. We can differ I suppose.[/quote]
