They Say/I Say: Naysayers

In the article “Why Liberal Arts Degrees are Worthless” author Steven Waechter describes degrees from the Liberal Arts as being “worthless degrees that did nothing but remove me from the world of real work; to widen the chasm between myself and the actual jobs which existed in the real economy. In short, I didn’t have the sort of skills that people were willing to pay for, and had to restart at temp jobs that I could have gotten straight out of high school.” While this opinion may be true for some, I believe it is all up to you and what you make out of a degree you’re receiving, if it is “worthless” it is because you made it worthless.
