My grandfather was a professor at Notre Dame and he once mentioned to me “The purpose of a Liberal Arts Education is to improve the quality of your life and to make you a better person.” It wasn’t meant to find you a job. That’s what a vocational or a professional school is for. Of course, things have changed since my grandfather taught many, many decades ago.

I can believe that, so long as one focuses on the classics...at the same time, how was one with such an education expected to get a job? (Seriously.)
