I'm sure that *some* American kids prefer lighter college schedules. It
is also true that *some* American kids don't go to college as if it were
a trade school, but, rather, as a way to expand their minds and their
knowledge, and learn how to think critically. There are many courses in
the "liberal arts" that are extraordinarily difficult and require a hell
of a lot more thinking than many of the so-called trade school classes.

One of the reasons why our politics is so crappy in this country is that
too many of the voters simply don't know how to think.

The fact remains that most of the people in math and engineering
programs are foreigners and far too many American kids come out with a
degree that simply makes them the most engaging Barista at Starbucks.

What's your degree in?

Life experience and a whole lot of training from the Navy, IBM, SBCCI,
IAEI and work I have done on my own.
I would stack that up against a BA in post modern art appreciation any
day. So did everyone who hired me.

Ahh, but it sort of depends on the job being sought, eh? An "art major"
might be just the degree sought by employers at ad agencies, museums,
magazines, music companies, et cetera.
