A liberal arts degree today is a worthless piece of parchment.

I seriously doubt that you even know what the seven liberal arts are (although I think you will look it up now).

I got one degeee in 1966 and the other in 1975. I am 69 years old.

You are just part of the FR chorus that sings out against those are "educated" in college as opposed to those who are "trained." There is a difference, you know.

I am glad things worked out for you, but you have to understand that back then anyone with a high school diploma was nearly guaranteed a good job.

Today you can shake any tree in a big city and a dozen unemployed kids with liberal arts degrees will fall out.
