Seriously. Our debt goes up by $1T every 7 months, but I'm sure dropping even all student loans from all education won't stop it.
I guess I get way more value from having artists in society than most people do. I get a lot of value out of city parks and libraries, too, both perpetual money-losers.

- rightbyte 3mo agoComputer science is not about computers anympre than liberal art studies is about singing etc ...
- nradov 3mo agoOK but what's your point? Colleges usually classify performing arts like singing and fine arts like painting or sculpture as separate from liberal arts. It would be good if more colleges offered majors suited to students interested in building commercial software rather than the theory of computation. Something like a "Bachelor of Fine Arts in Software Development".
