That is one of the dumbest posts I have ever read on FR. STEREOTYPE MUCH? Let me guess. Liberal Arts was your major. To bad you can't report stupidity as abuse to the moderators.

Yes indeed.

I know very few scientists that fit that description. Now when you get to Sociologists and “pick your category” studies crowd it’s a different story. What kind of job can someone from a studies program do that advances society. I can learn about these subjects on my own time. It is mostly a job program for men and white haters who can’t do anything useful.

In America, employers seek employees with a narrow set of skills/specialization, especially in the current job market. This is not true in much of the rest of the world, btw.
