You use the word sensitive a lot when you cant find a response.

Arent you a college kid supported by parents?

Well you're almost always wrong, so maybe you should reevaluate

That's not entirely accurate. A liberal arts degree represents the ability to learn a diverse set of subjects. A company with fewer than 500 employees is going to find that attractive. It means they have multiple options for placing the candidate, and if the need arises to move an employee to a new position, the employee will be able to handle the change.


I don't know many jobs that would rather hire someone with a degree in Philosophy over someone who knows how to specifically do that job...

Chris, the people who run this country have liberal arts degrees.

What do you do? Medical field?

Ultimately nursing was something that completely went away from everything else I’ve done and didn’t make any sense. I’ve lead teams in the military, worked in sales, managed sales teams, and handled all managerial aspects of a small office.

Then, I was dumping all that aside and doing nursing, which completely went away from my skillset/s rather than just getting the MBA.

My VMware and storage tech in an English major. And he can work circles around most of my ISDS and computer science majors

This is nonsense. A buddy is the director of Quantitative Research at a huge Bay Area investment management firm. His degree is in French. Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Bain, McKinsey, etc. are full of liberal arts graduates.

I'm a CFO. I've worked in a few industries


I wouldn't get much benefit from it professionally but it's just something I thought about doing
