I think Equifax should hire a music major to be their Chief Security Officer. Oh, wait ........... never mind!
Maybe people are abandoning college degrees.
On your other comment, I recall that our band/music teachers were the second best paid school employees next to the superintendent
Because they were smart enough to finish school with teaching credentials.
As for me, I learned music in the bars. As a youngster there were times I was making more off the guitar than Uncle Sam paid me but I never tried to make a living off it.
Made a couple dozen fiddles and several mandolins after retirement, still have a rental fleet, do some repair, and still gig a couple times a month. I have to admit the liberal arts degree did help get me promoted in the military but any degree would have at the time.
Underwater basket weaving
The "humanities" today are a monstrous fraud.
Specially, lower education brainwashes the young, and "higher education" cements the educationally crippled.
I was educated "officially" a decade before the "Great Change," now mystified as STEM.
I will challenge my ownership of the benefits of the necessity of grasping the humanities against any millennial or "safe place" uneducated moron, even if obtained through autodidactism.
Humanities use to teach Western Civilization - now they teach liberal ‘fashion ideas’ of the moment.
It’s a waste of student money... Kids must be smarter than I thought if they’re dumping this stuff...
Careful.
That's the third rail around this place.
One of those delusionals will criticize you for confusing a partial URL for the name of this place, but can't be bothered to spell "bait" or "four" correctly.

Right and the various Ethnic Studies. There should be a price to pay for the bogus degrees.
..and thank you, Yoda, for that bit of cereal box wisdom...
When I worked for EDS, they didn’t hire Computer Science majors. They wanted to hire people with other kinds of degrees, so they could train them to code the way they wanted them to code.
They figured with CS majors, they’d have to ‘unlearn’ everything they were taught.
It seems men are. Whenever I went to an orientation with my daughter, it was almost 80% girls there.
A balance of liberal arts WITH a technical or science education USED to be normal...
"....While history, English, and the rest have faded, only one set of humanities fields without a foot in the sciences has clearly held its own: the much newer (and smaller) disciplines the statistical agency joins together as ethnic, gender, and cultural studies.........
These 'disciplines' are those with radical activism potential. They should not fade, they should be crushed.
Better put on your flameproof suit.
That is not only ignorant, but sexist, homophobic and racist...

Or defecating on someone’s grave. That’s about the right for what an animal can do.

Now that is among my five most favorite jokes I have heard in my long life.
I wish I had kept track over the years; what the others are, I will recognize when I hear them again.
Alas, not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford to “enhance intellectual life” with extraneous and abstract studies. Most folks have to get a job and work.
We are not yet at Millennium.
Studying women these days might get ya fired.
