I am a big proponent of liberal education. I believe liberal education is the foundation of western democracy. However, I am also of the mind that one cannot pay $70,000 per year for a diploma in Ancient Greek (as much as I admire the pursuit). I think we are rapidly moving towards the past where liberal education will be reserved for the elite. The upper middle will go for more specialized Vocational education in CS, engineering, and the like. Given that I got my degree in physics as part of a college of arts and sciences I believe deeply that I received a better, more well rounded education than my peers in engineering and CS. This in turn has allowed me to make better decisions where I weigh the ethical nature of what I’m deciding.
