Probably correct, because my kid was a a recruitment seminar for FBI and associated agencies about a year ago. She was told by the recruiter that they would not even consider any with a Lib Arts degree anymore....only candidates from engineering, hard sciences, and preference for military and para-military schools (merchant academies, West Point, Navy Academy, etc. CIA may follow suit??
(kiddo is an engineer and deck-licensed Merchant Marine officer...they told her to ring them when she turned 25. My kid...the spook?)

It's a shame they aren't recruiting people with liberal arts backgrounds. I have a liberal arts background. I guess having knowledge of history and the classics and the analytical skills they teach really aren't that important when trying to understand both short and long range cause and effect.
The inability to separate one definition of the word "liberal" from the other goes to show what deep doo-doo we really are in. It's like we used to say, you can always tell an engineer, you just can't tell them much.
