[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are idiots if we starve the liberal arts. The obsession with creating worker bees for companies instead of fostering a well-rounded education is bonkers.

That’s not what the proposal is about. It’s about terminating useless degrees at $100k a year schools that end up with salaries less than a high school graduate. Go back and read the actual proposal. My expensive “psych”undergrad degree at a $$ SLAC was worthless [/quote]
You chose for it to be useless. Our kid did psych at an SLAC, took the courses that are quantitative, stats focused, and heavily computational. They now have a great career in organizational psych after a few years as a software engineer.[/quote]
+1. The bitter truth is those that choose to do nothing with their degree and pursue menial careers will do that no matter the degree. There are bums with CS and math degrees. There are also many successful CS and math majors, obviously. We know a kid who was easily employed after college with an art degree- they worked hard and found what would make them money. If you didn’t use your degree and haven’t sparked a successful career, it’s nobody but your fault.[/quote]
