On a side note, I think many fail to recognize what "liberal education" means. I've seen the concept attacked by some right/libertarian friends merely for having the word "liberal" in it!
- eropple 11y agoFor sure. Like, my microeconomics classes have been invaluable in being a good planner and manager. The friends I work with (most of whom I've known for a long time, and some of whom in college I got to take econ seriously) use that vocabulary, and those principles, every single day as software developers and product people. Sociology and political science--the studies of groups and the distribution of power and resources within them--are more valuable than my databases class ever was. Computers are easy. People are hard. A liberal education helps recognize and come to grips with this.
