Title clowning on Liberal Arts, but that's one of the best educations to have in an Ai dominated job market... or any competitive job market.
yes, but it's systematically undervalued because stupid people don't understand how powerful soft skills are and think all that matter is hard skills.
but statistically most liberal art grads do very well later in life, even if they don't make as much starting out.
It's because people who can risk pursuing a liberal arts degree are already well off
not necessarily as a major although Im not even sure you can do it as a major. Most science including computer where in LAS in my experience.
I'd think plumbing, electrical might be even better. 😄
Its up to you, but trades have very little flexibility. If the job market changes or dries up, you can transfer very little without going out and getting a new trade.
Yes but if those job markets have dried up, pretty much every market will have also.
