I would say let's try it. These professions do not need degrees at all, philosophers, historians, artists, authors, and social workers. Self directed study should teach them what they need to know.
These people we could used a great deal less of, economists, lawyers, archaeologists and psychologists. There is currently a glut on the market and they are mostly fools.
There should be no such thing as a teaching degree.
History is important as in fake news really is a crime. That being said, people dealing with the topic are way too irresponsible and stupid. Usually people good in stem are also more honest in other topics like History, and Stem should be, imo, a prereq to a topic like this so the idiots and frauds be kept out the most.
