About college majors. A lot of people blame students for choosing impractical majors

4. I think Liberal Arts students are very skilled at debate, and really know how to think.

Hell, if you're going to spend four or five years in university, you may as well study something that you love, that makes you happy. You can always take a course in refrigeration or get a license to drive a truck afterwards if all else fails, or even go into the dreaded "retail" game for some basic employment experience, or the Peace Corps to get a major resume bullet, but that educational experience should be something that enlightens and invigorates. I don't think the economy will be bad forever--at some point, we're going to want the poets and artists again.

I feel sorry for kids who are studying accounting or engineering solely because they think it's a guarantee of a job, dragging themselves to class and hating every second of it, when they'd rather be majoring in art or music.

It's a shame that advanced education is so damned expensive. It's out of the reach of so many, and that's sad.

I'd never "blame" a kid for wanting to study something that interests them. Sheesh, it's terrible that they have to choose between getting on a work treadmill and doing something they hate for the rest of their working life, instead of being able to study something that motivates them and apply that to their working life.
