[quote=Anonymous]I understand the idea that a practical degree feels very appealing to get a job but I also think the critical thinking and writing of a humanities degree could be important to any student, particularly if one wants to go to grad school. I would encourage excellent students who need significant aid to consider going this route - it was what I did and worked out well. I got undergrad paid for at smaller university that provided mentoring that I never received at my giant public low-income HS. And then I had a great platform for getting into a prestigious grad school (by getting a teaching fellowship). This is a path for an exceptionally dedicated student but it is there. On the flip side, don't blow off trades. General contractors, craftsman and journeymen can make a great living. These are great careers.[/quote]
