I don't understand the "not practical" sentiment. During the pursuit of my BA, I learned how to research, perform analysis, communicate, and most importantly how to rapidly switch contexts. I use those skills every day. I'm not saying that is exclusive to a Liberal Arts education, but I would definitely call those practical skills. Today I got wrapped up contemplating the terminology I was using for a UI. I was worried that it was counter to the ontology of the system. Sure, maybe a CS grad would say "consistency of language" or something, but my philosophy-major-addled brain said ontology. [editted to say: HA! a-priori!]
