Hey, let's not confuse or bias the girl. I don't know what a Liberal Arts Degree is, but a Bachelor of Arts Degree from a liberal arts school would most definitely have required focus on a specific major or discipline, and I guarantee it paid every last cent of the bills I amassed, even if it was about completely the opposite of the career in which I ended up. A good liberal arts school will provide the opportunity to investigate and pursue from a variety of subjects like engineering, languages, math, music, sciences, education, business, finance, accounting. I don't think enough is done in high school to allow most kids to make that choice at the time they're choosing colleges. I saw a recent worksheet handed out by guidance and one question on it said, "Where do you want to be after college?" Come on, my daughter doesn't know where she's going to be 10 minutes after school ends. I just don't believe in pushing a kid into choosing a career or life path when they're not ready.
