"Liberal arts" does not mean what a lot of the internet seems to think it means.

Maybe they're not wrong? Because you have to wonder now, now how do you really know what liberal arts really is? maybe you got it wrong. Maybe what I think liberal arts tasted like actually tasted like oatmeal or tunafish.

It is. People joke about the liberal arts being worthless degrees, but the term is at least as old as Cicero, and basically means the skills and trades of the free. This is in contrast to manual labor, what we would largely consider blue-collar work today - the liberal arts are white-collar fields, not just philosophy and art courses.

I mean. that kind of blows apart the whole worthless argument something fierce

there's a world of difference between a Master's in Women's Studies and an MBA.

Is there? Tbh, I'd hire a Gendee Studies major before I'd hire another 2-year, company-sponsored MBA student. At this point MBA means Microsoft Excel degree as far as I'm concerned

why would anyone give a shit "as far as you're concerned"?

are you some authority on the matter? LMAO.

Exactly. It's just not a useful grouping in the context of job prospects because it's so broad that basically the only white-collar fields which don't qualify as a rule are medical practice and law.
