[quote=Anonymous]I think it also has to do with the amount the liberal arts degree is going to cost and how it is going to be funded. Makes no sense to incur $100K+ in debt and end up with a degree that does not make him marketable. This goes contrary to the b-s that college counselors pontificate about but the reality is that one of the major reasons why one gets a college degree is to get a decent well-paying job. The college counselor who goes on about following one's passion will have no role in making sure college loans are paid down the line. Sure, if the job market is healthy most college graduates will get a job that pays reasonably but when the market is tough, it is those with the right skills who will be the most sought. One needs to adapt to the times and the economy today is not as it was twenty years ago.[/quote]
