Lumping students of useless liberal arts "degrees" together with those on their way to becoming neurosurgeons, quants, investment bankers, lawyers or strategy consultants is a disgusting media default I can not comprehend. You CAN NOT lump those together for an average. Different planets. Different universes.
Besides that: Aren‘t colleges as full as ever? Any college has trouble to fill a new semester?
- tyroi34iooi 3y agoOld school "liberal arts" before 1970 was about processing information, finding bias, finding patterns, critical thinking... Very meta... It would be excellent preparation for profession where you deal with people and information (investment banking). Liberal arts of current year has nothing to do with that.
