a liberal arts education is fine for students who do not plan to use their college educations to try to earn a living

young scions of the wealth elite (who will never work anyway)
or
older people who have already made successful careers (and likely are retired or nearly so)

I think art, music, literature, etc are wonderful for the insights and appreciation they can bring to a person’s life. They just normally should not be confused with career-path majors is all. It is the parents’ responsibility (and the school counselors’) to advise students of the realities.

Yes, but under the progressives the liberal arts will rule over science. They are already doing this under global warming.

I couldn't agree more. Granted, my college degree is now 62 years old, but I think my experiences may still be relevant.

I attended a liberal arts college. However, I took a technical major (physics). In addition to that major, I had to take a lot of liberal arts courses: history, economics, literature, etc. I ended up making a living as an engineer, but that living was enhanced by the liberal arts courses I'd taken. As a high school English teacher once told me, "A technical education teaches you how to make a living. A liberal education teaches you how to live." She was right.
