But you suggested in your first post that people with liberal arts degrees were not qualified for anything. No?

You knew that when you posted, I guess to make your point more vividly. But I knew better, for I have seen (and I wish that I had a note of it) a report in which it explicited stated that many Wall Street personnel are liberal arts graduates.

I am not denying that having mathematical credentials helps but that is not the only qualification for work. Other things (such as an analytical mind) come into play.

I like liberal arts...but it is an avocation...soul expanding thing.

It is not a vocation...it raises a person up but it trains him/her for nothing.

Liberal Arts as a course of study is powerfully important. But it is a lifetime thing...not a 4 year thing.

It never ends until your give up you love of life.

But it is not a vocation!

Most Wall Street personnel have degrees in Business, Economics, and Accounting, and those are the worthless liberal arts degrees that many are talking about here. Yes, those with worthless liberal arts degree have less chances of finding a decent job.
