I think its the wrong take, but I don't think its unreasonable - it makes a lot of sense if you're making this decision based on a totally financialized bildungsroman (lmao, someone stop me) 

I'm more of a humanist or idealist, college is a process of learning & socialization of immense value for those who apply themselves 

generally believe that broad 'intelligence' matters more than ever in a post-singularity world - optimizing for a 'career' path in the traditional sense will become obsolete

liberal arts kids will rise

i think the dominant criticism of higher ed these days is not related to the value of liberal arts or the humanist ideal

more so that the institutions have been co-opted, e.g., obscene ratio of liberals to conservatives getting tenure; obscene growth in administrative headcount which has significantly increased costs with nebulous value to students

but i recognize you were mostly responding to original post
