This helped me to write my essay for pre-collegiate program application. Liberal Arts Education was what they offered. But I had no idea what that thing was T.T . Now I grasped a concept of it. Thank you so much for this Ted Talk!!!
How’s that going for you?
Poor first in the family types don’t have the financial security or that kind of time

A liberal arts education is valuable.

As that person in my own family, it has actually been excellent for me and my own circle. Definitely not the case for everyone, but the education can be very good for certain students.
This is an underrated comment. Although I really value the ideal of the liberal arts education I think mixing it with one trade and one profession should be a default. Historically only the aristocrats spent years at Oxford and Cambridge pondering why is the sky blue. Now that did get us some returns decades of centuries down the line but the intent was not for return. It was a consumption product rather than an investment product and consumption requires personal and societal wealth which, in the near term, is produced by common folk.
Buy your kids books from great novelists. They will be good.
