[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The beauty of an American college education used to be that it’s a liberal arts education, even if you’re doing STEM. You used to see a major firm’s CEO with an “obscure” college degree. However, things seem to be changing here, along with the college admissions process. I’ve always wondered if it’s at least partly influenced by the East Asian educated immigrants (those who got a Ph.D. here) over the past few decades?[/quote]

Back in the day, the top tier of Capital
One executives included quite a few philosophy majors. Law firm partners, too.

By the way, OP, in case you don’t know about law school admissions here in the US, there is no undergraduate degree in law or pre-law before going to law school. Even the best law schools here accept tons of kids who majored in esoteric humanities subjects, as well as all the other “more practical” majors, too. My top-tier law school classmates came with majors ranging from English, Philosophy, Sociology, Communicatiobs, and Music to Biology, Chemistry, and Engineering.[/quote]
