[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it became a buzzword when liberal arts majors, myself included, realized there are no jobs for us and the good jobs go to STEM fields. I've already told my kids they cannot major in a humanities. Take classes for fun if they want but career focus should be on stem or business. [/quote] What a sad, sad state of affairs. This certainly demonstrates a complete failure to appreciate the genesis of STEM and pretty much guarantees that humanity is looking forward to a very shallow existence. It also completely fails to appreciate the fact that when asked, senior executives prefer liberal arts over business majors. [b]The former can think and communicate clearly. The latter, not so much. [/b] Also nice to know that there are parents who mandate their children's futures. That's pretty sad too. [/quote] Way to stereotype. I was in English Minor with a STEM major. Both my sons have been advanced in both science/math and English/Humanities/History. In fact the oldest, who is a complete whiz in Math (tests off the charts) wants to major in Liberal Arts. Teachers have told me it's amazing he has strengths and aptitude for both. He's a very social kid.[/quote]
