[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]My expensive “psych”undergrad degree at a $$ SLAC was worthless[/b] [/quote]

How was it worthless?  There is such high need for Psychologists, no?[/quote]

Actually, psych degrees are the prime example of low ROI. 
Psychologists actually need a doctoral degree to be a psychologist. Just majoring in psychology isn't enough.[/quote]

A PP.  I have experience in the market research field.  That's a reasonably in-demand, reasonably-compensated liberal arts degree holder profession.  It is common that entry-level staff have psychology degrees or minors.

It's so weird to me that people think various degrees are only channeling people to the literal same name profession.[/quote]
