Not everyone goes to college for money. Some go to learn.

If we only have college for STEM and got rid of everything else, we’d have a very stupid civilization who knew nothing of history, ethics, literature, political science, and philosophy.

The ancient Greeks thought that stuff was quite important. So did people during the Renaissance. The reformation movement was lead by artists and philosophers. America’s founding fathers were philosophers. Philosophers don’t always make much money, but they change the world more than anyone who does have money.

I appreciate the corrections I received

Those who speak for History, Philosophy, Ethics Are seeking Vision
Those who speak for Literature are seeking to bridge the boundaries of Empathy and Understanding

Our understand of God would be severely diminished
without the Gift of The Torah
Along with the Greeks, the Philosophies of
Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism should not be discounted.
