Joel Kellum says he's living proof that the claim is a lie. A 40-year-old Los Angeles resident, Kellum did everything he was supposed to do to get ahead in life. He worked hard as a high schooler, got into the University of Virginia and graduated with a bachelor's degree in history.

Well, that's the problem. Most liberal arts degrees are pretty useless in the real world.

I disagree. Not everyone is cut out to be in the sciences, but have a lot to offer in other subjects. While I would like to see more people take on the sciences, I know that there has to be stronger foundations for it in our public schools. The current state of public school's maths and sciences, at least where I'm at, there is a lot of focus on passing standardized tests. Anything else is secondary.

For me personaly, I tailored my degree to get into law school, but I changed my mind. Now I'm looking to get another degree.
