Title clowning on Liberal Arts, but that’s one of the best educations to have in an Ai dominated job market… or any competitive job market.

yes, but it’s systematically undervalued because stupid people don’t understand how powerful soft skills are and think all that matter is hard skills.
but statistically most liberal art grads do very well later in life, even if they don’t make as much starting out.

It’s because people who can risk pursuing a liberal arts degree are already well off

they aren’t. but keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel superior.

Like half of the stem majors are foreign born rich kids. Just look at the tuition charged.

yeah but they are majoring in STEM so they are automatically hard working and good people or something.
and lets not… acknowledge how many people in STEM… have liberal arts degrees… which is a lot.
