[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Liberal Arts degree is completely useless. I won't pay for that either. Judge away.[/quote]

DH, a partner in a large law firm, majored in history. A close friend, highly regarded doctor at one of the best hospitals in the country, majored in philosophy.

On the other hand, my brother who went to a highly regarded business school is unemployed.[/quote]

So why didn't they stick with history or philosophy? Obviously, they realized the need to change course and were fortunate that they could. [/quote]

There was no course change. They learned research, critical thinking, phenomenal writing skills. They learned how to think at a very high level. Good skills for lawyers and doctors to have.

I don't think you understand what actually goes on in a liberal arts school.[/quote]

I have two degrees in Liberal Arts. What do you mean by "thinking at a high level"? Math and science majors learn research and acquire writing skills exactly the same way historians do. You are aware that English 101 offered at a particular school is the same for all students, aren't you?[/quote]
