@crazyBrah21; For women and effeminate males. This says a whole lot about your view of the world. If you think understanding, i.e., being versus doing, is a sexist issue. then there is no point in discourse.

[CrazyBrah21]

Liberal arts majors are for women and a few effeminate men so they can feel smart and good about themselves, but are useless in the real world and useless in look for employment (except for useless government jobs or useless college professors positions). For all the liberal arts majors out there listen up "Speaking proper and putting on a suit is not a skill".

Liberal arts education needs reform. These fields are good for personal development but they should not be pursued as pure majors on loans since they offer poor financial return. Creditors don't care that you learned western literature. Employers want you to have a technical skill not the ability to speak eloquently about Plato. By all means, pursue these studies but don't pay a fortune for them. Type Reform Higher Education Now in the search box on Facebook or click CollegeReform below.

@Tsugua21

A liberal arts education with a concentration in a hard science still includes exposure to more than just your major. That's the point. The same goes the other way; a major in English will be exposed to science.

...further, studying a soft science has nothing to do with talking your way to an A or making friends.  Common sense has nothing to do with the hard sciences.

[Tsugua21]

Liberals Arts degree = waste of time and money. Talking white, putting on suit and pretending to be everyone's friend is not a skill. When you can talk your Liberal Arts professors into changing your grade you know your class is a joke. You can't talk your way into an A or B in the Hard sciences and maths, that's why most people shy away from these REAL degrees. I have way more respect for the Hard sciences and Maths, these people make more money, have better job sercurity and have common sense.

Why were my commens removed?

@eathenicus if you're trying to persuade me to say that liberal arts majors basically have low prospects in the job market, I have to make that conclusion. Our economy demands science and tech' skills far more than anything you'll gain by getting a degree in the humanities. Quite frankly, I would not suggest that anybody waste 4 yrs to get a silly BA. The investment costs don't enable grad's to achieve a decent return on investment. Read College, Inc. Video's on Frontline PBS too.

@eathenicus Of course they are ignorant. Thats why we call them children and we educate them. Unfortunatley the label children also applies to some adults out there as well as Im sure you agree.

[eathenicus]

@chicago618 I guess the majority of children are ignorant then.

@Fantageous But, what careers are liberal art graduates going to pursue? Answer this question for me.
