thats his worst idea. free community college is doable but there is no reason to pay 4 years for someone to major liberal arts.
i think trade schools should also be subsidized since a lot of ppl are just not fit for college but would do well with a trade degree

you do know that "liberal arts" isnt really a popular major, its typically used as a reference for a college or university that requires students to study more than simply the core requirements for their degree right?

(like taking 1 or 2 language or culture studies classes in addition to the core sciences needed for there degrees)


I mean there are some really far out there programs where "students design their own" where I guess they could fall under a BLA, but most of those are undergraduate degrees prior to grad school......

With a five-year 31% underemployment rate according to Burning Glass, and a massive 601,092 degrees passed out in 2016, business and related majors produced a staggering 186,339 people with a degree and no corresponding college-level job. Counting the initial underemployment rate for business and related majors of 47%, a whopping 282,513 were underemployed in 2016.

The “Health Professions” data is head-scratching since we know that in 2015, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted, “Healthcare support occupations and healthcare practitioners and technical occupations are projected to be the two fastest-growing occupational groups, adding a combined 2.3 million jobs, about 1 in 4 new jobs” by 2024. But according to the report, “Health Professions and Related Programs” majors were second worst, leaving 154,915 with degrees but without good jobs after five years. Education and Psychology were third and fourth with 99,597 and 61,647 graduates without good jobs respectively.

If you believe the Burning Glass data, those four majors alone – business, health professionals, education, and psychology – put more than half a million people in the underemployed camp. And given that the 21 selected majors in the Burning Glass report totaled 904,000 underemployed graduates after five years, just those four majors accounted for more than half (56%) of the underemployed in the study.

It’s also interesting that although it’s a popular target of those who insist that a college education should connect to a good job, majors in “Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies, and Humanities” left a scant 18,824 underemployed grads after five years. “English Language and Literature/Letters” had just 16,422 similarly underemployed. And the major with the fewest underemployed graduates, according to the report, was “Foreign Languages, Literature, and Linguistics.”

In other words, for every cliché of a barista or bartender with a liberal arts degree, there were ten with a degree in business.

while STEM students had the lowest unemployment rate, the idea that everyone who takes a foreign language is a lazy hippie is propaganda to create a rift between generational groups

Someone recently shared a video of him praising the Soviets breadlines. Their infrastructure. If he ever becomes the nominee he's done before he even started.

Just show the video and a bunch of starving children in venzuela and ask if this what you want the future of America to be.

What's wrong with someone majoring in liberal arts?

bc liberal arts dont bring in as much in return as fields like engineer and cs and finance

add marketing and general business to the crap file
