You seem to be basing the value of education solely on employability, but that misses a huge amount of the value of a liberal arts education -- not just to the individual, but even more so to society at large.
- sickofparadox 3y agoThat's a really nice sentiment and I used to believe it, but going to college has disabused me of this boomer/gen x lie.

At what percentage do we need for population with degrees to finally tackle the hard problems of our society?
