Liberal arts and the humanities have always been undervalued in U.S. society. A humanities education develops skills in critical thinking, deep research, reading and comprehension, critical analysis, and problem-solving. And a more meaningful life. ehlersoneverything.blogspot.com/2025/05/a-pl...

The only reason I could imagine a Liberal Arts major would work for BlackRock would be to sabotage it.

I’m an artist, I got soft skills ladies!

✊

Rise up and.... Work for Blackrock?? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

“Soooooo, what kind of job can you get with a degree in Interpersonal Communication? Me: The world is my oyster.

My brain was a hell of a lot sharper and I was a much better writer when I was a history major.

BS Sociology degree here

Yah. Thats the one promoting my look back at thirty years of this discourse

Good thing Florida is outlawing, checks notes, Sociology. (Hyperbole on purpose. I don't think it's literally OUTLAWED just taken out of the offerings.)

That uncomfortable feeling when someone I distrust says what I've been thinking.

Never thought I would live to see that day.

I got laughed at in a job interview once for having a BA in English. HR person pretended to scan my résumé before she started asking me questions. Said, "I see you have a degree in English. {chuckle} What did you think you were going to do with that?"

My BA in English and decades of reading genre lit finally worth money? MY TIME HAS COME?

Never have I felt my degree from Berklee was more useful than at this very moment in history.

Chuckles in European social scientist who's been teaching in a tech focussed university. They're so fucked.

Also chuckles with 35 years in high tech with expertise in semiconductor photolithography and an English degree.

I may have joined the dark side picking up my MBA going to grad school at night with my Army education benefits later on though... 😳

Did Blackrock get permission from trump to dare call for free-thinking & logic? sounds so WOKEY!

My children went to SLACs. I advised them to pursue their dreams! But also graduate with a marketable skill. One did! LOL. That one has a well-paying job and keeps getting promoted. The other will be moving home next week and for the foreseeable future.

Lol

Liberal arts teaches one how to put lots of divergent pieces of a puzzle together to see where society was, is & might go. It's kinda like AI before there was AI.

Haha! :looks at my English lit/sociology degree:

Am assuming this is about starting salaries.

💪

Yep my son started out in business, it was dreadfully boring.
