None, I suspect, have EVER been in liberal arts. But, then, how
civilized would we be without grammar, rhetoric, logic, geometry,
arithmetic, music, or astronomy?
An awful lot of us liberal arts graduates didn't go to college to learn
a trade.
Obviously. Even the basket weaving courses were too tough for some of
you deep thinkers.
I went, on my 14th birthday, to get a worker's permit..... and until I
was in my 40's worked at least 2 jobs at any one given time. I'm down
to only one, now....
I was capable and actively involved in working a trade before I got my
first liberal arts degree.... you don't have to be a racket scientist
to earn a wage.
A good education serves to "polish and adorn the mind." Something a
lot of posters here certainly don't seem to value......
Don't belittle a classical education until you have one.....
So you're a racket scientist eh. Well that don't impress me much.
What? I can't hear you!
You're good at your job, then!!
