Like everything else liberal, a liberal arts education raises the cost of college significantly with no visible means of usefulness.

An engineer needs college. So does a doctor, lawyer or any professional field.

Problem today is women’s studies program, minority studies programs and other programs that do not prepare a student for the real world, except to work at Starbucks.

Texas has thousands of jobs. We need professionals, not baristas.

So that's what Steve Wozniak, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi, did wrong. Someone should have told them.

Combine lack of skills with the lack of a work ethic and a distorted sense of entitlement (from having a degree) and you have a real problem. Unfortunately that is often the case as many newly minted grads have a lot of trouble fitting into the workplace.
