The "baws" I deal with at work respect the engineering and scientist folks.

They hate liberal arts type ppl.

TBH I respect a skilled tradesman over liberal arts degree any day.

The definition of "liberal arts" has been bastardized in common parlance over the last few years. A classical liberal arts education includes subjects like chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, and statistics. From the classical trivium to the middle age quadrivium to the modern core of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and formal sciences the liberal arts education has required a very wide breadth of subjects. Identifying a degree in a single humanities or social science subject as a "liberal arts" degree is erroneous and lazy.
