I think "liberal arts" is code for indoctrination...

Naw. Back in Harry's day (and mine) one elected "liberal arts" as a
course of study when you were entering college but didn't have a clue
what
you wanted to do with your life.

It's meaning has changed over the years.

So, when your parents kicked you out and you didn't want to go to work?

-----------------------------------

That was one motivation for some, I am sure.

I always envied the high school juniors and seniors who, with the
assistance of their "guidance consolers", had chosen a field of future
employment by the ninth grade.

I was too busy investigating other things at that age to decide.

About all I was investigating in the 9th grade was ways to work after
school and on weekends to save up enough $$$ for the mandatory driving
school lessons I could take in the 10th grade to get my license.

My father said he would fix me up a car, but that paying for the lessons
was my part of the deal.

There were limited ways for those under 16 to work legal jobs in
Connecticut in those days. I mowed a lot of lawns and shoveled a lot of
snow off sidewalks.
