Depends on where you go and what you make of it I guess. Like I said, I went to a very good Conservative Christian college that is still Conservative and Christian.

I had some very good personal reasons for rejecting my engineering education and I don't regret it. Have I had to work to make my liberal arts degree lucrative, you bet, but in the long run, it's paid off handsomely for me and I get to do things and go places that most engineers only dream about in their cubicles and at their work benches.

Like I said on another thread, everyone can't be an engineer or a scientist. There are jobs out there for liberal arts majors who have worked hard and want to continue working hard. It's all about taking personal responsibility for yourself and being dedicated to your professional career in whatever you decide to do.

“Like I said, I went to a very good Conservative Christian college that is still Conservative and Christian.”

As I mentioned, the market share of such schools (i.e. liberal arts schools that are conservative and have high standards) is so small that they hardly matter in the overall scheme of things.

Good for you if you found one. Even better for you if you’ve found gainful employment that you enjoy.
