I’ve got a liberal arts degree myself, with lots of English and philosophy included in it.

The value of said degree, let alone its utility, is debatable.

What I would suggest is that with a little effort you and I could have read what we read and learned what we learned without sitting in a classroom, living in a dorm, and paying through the nose for the (literal) privilege.

I loved college, had a great time and pulled down a 3.86 gpa. But a lot of what I did, and what the curriculum required me to do, really only got in the way of my acquiring knowledge, let alone wisdom.

Everything I learned which I consider important to my life- politics, psychology, sociology, history, I’ve taught my self long after my college days. Self education with degrees offered via timed standardized examination over the internet will be the future of education.

I went to college to get a degree when I was in my mid-30's. I had taken some college course's when I was in my early 20's..but had no idea what I wanted to do..and had a very good job anyway.

I had to take 2 P.E. classes....when I went back to get a degree. How dumb is that? I actually liked them..."Basketball" and "Racketball"...as I already played both....But, my time and money could have been better spent...As I had a family, a home, bills, etc..etc.

fwiw-
