Completely disagree

The only thing that needs to change is the expectation that a college degree will automatically get you a job. At the same time, however, a well-rounded liberal arts education is invaluable. To reach our true potential as people, we need to be more than economic animals, and while laboring trades are perfectly acceptable things, nothing's stopping an educated man from doing them, either.

It's called a library.

Or the internet.

It's really easy to get that information if you just want to get it.

I know because well.. I already knew most of what I was taught in my liberal arts degree.

And how much time do most people have to learn something completely new and distinct, something they may not have been interested in otherwise, in the limited free time they have around work?
