College is a good idea, but Liberal Arts degrees are never a good idea.

Respectfully disagree, but only if the student earns a liberal arts degree from an institution like Hillsdale College, where they teach the young person to think critically and learn the writings of the masters like Aristotle and Plato.

If however you're talking about most of the dreck that passes for higher education, I'm with you 100%.

I afraid when businesses these days look at your resume, they look at how your major applies to what they are hiring for. Being eloquent and able to use your mind (I HATE the term “critical thinking” since it usually is liberalese for “anyone who agrees with me”) is helpful, but only after your resume is selected.
