[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

People love to use these types of examples...but the SLAC grad or any grad of a top 30 school can and usually does just fine with a Psyche or any number of humanities degrees.  Also, these schools are the most generous with FA, and you will see schools like Amherst show up as both top schools and "Best Value" schools, because the net cost for the average student is very low and the loan burdens even lower to nonexistent.

[b]It's the Psyche major at Frostburg and literally thousands of random schools[/b] that has to borrow a ton and [b]can't find a job[/b] worth their student loans.[/quote]
Why can a kid at a second tier state school not do well, or get hired with a psych undergrad degree?[/quote]
