Oh yeah? You should meet my nephew. After a $200,000, 5 year stint collecting a useless liberal arts major at a "prestigious" private college in the Northwest, he's learning all about growing organic apple trees at some "learning center" in New England. (Shaking head.)
I know what you mean--I've got a cousin that bought a lib-arts degree from UC Berzerkley and promptly started raising rats in her apartment (snake food for the local pet stores).
