I'd profer that knowing how to weld of do electrical work is better than any liberal arts degree.
Liberal arts students are disappointed with your sentence. How many liberal arts graduates are judges or lawyers? It's not about the major. It is about the ability to learn, problem solving, and fresh ideas. My proffer for you is simple. Do your research.

You have to understand that Trumpkins and Trump won on an anti-intellectual wave. Of course they want to get rid of liberal arts at the public funded institutions. They are in favor of the liberal arts if it is for wealthy students who have the connections to do well regardless of what they major in.

The truth is that a history major from Yale has a better chance of getting a job on Wall Street versus a economics major from LSU. Of course don't tell the Trumpkins that they will say you are lying and so many firms on Wall Streets can't wait to hire economics and physics majors from LSU.

You are literally the only person saying that.

What?

As a socialist, you of all people should realize supporting blue collar workers isn't "anti intellectualism."

I have no problem with people getting degrees in feminism, or gender studies. Even specializing in some type of literature. As long as those people realize the degree is more for their very own interest and not preparing them for the working world.

There are many different types of intellects, pursuing a 10 year plan to learn about gender differences doesn't necessarily make one an intellectual.

Answer to the OP: Trade Schools are not places where young minds can be indoctrinated.

Because people who actually work don't typically vote for democrats as much as the intelligent gender studies professionals.
