you also gain metaskills when acquiring multiple skills. and the skills can combine in nonlinear ways.

I’m talking about honing in on the ability to acquire new skills when necessary. Many university degrees instead focus on specialisation in a singular field. If that field becomes obsolete, it is going to be very difficult to move into a new area

That’s the defence of the liberal arts, in a classical humanist sense. It’s not about knowing this or that, it’s about learning how to think, how to analyse, logic, a sense of the grand sweep of history, beauty and culture.

Ofc most of the time unis are now about getting hammered for four years then stumbling out blinking into a bewildering job market. Maybe that’s the real problem with the humanities, unis aren’t really teaching them or demanding work from the students.

Then again young people have always been dissolute layabouts so nothing to blame this generation in particular for.

We’re big fans of the liberal arts, but not necessarily such big fans of the current university system. None of these comments are aimed at you.

Haha don’t worry I was being flippant. I don’t study the liberal arts, I’m just young
