Indeed and ironically this shows a lack of the critical thinking skills that all the liberal arts worshipers claim they got with muh liberal arts degree.[/quote]

I have always found that the best critical thinkers and employees (and the hardest workers) tend to be Physics/Computer Science/Applied Math/Statistics majors. Engineering comes at a close second. Natural sciences at a third.

The vast, vast majority of the humanities majors I see have an awful work ethic and little to no ability to think critically. I am always amused when DCUMers post that their Philosophy degree taught them to "think critically in a way that you can't with STEM." [/quote]

My experience as well.[/quote]

I disagree about the "applied Math" - If Philosophy is taught with a real socratic method not the lame version they use in law school it can be rigorous.  I found my Philo undergrad degree much more challenging than IVy law school classes.  would agree that conceptual math and physics are more difficult but those are some of the most difficult subjects.  Applied anything is going to be lame as you are just memorizing the outcomes not learning to manipulate the concepts yourself[/quote]
