I'm not sure I'll be able to get all relevant stakeholders over the social desirability hump of this, but Lambda has 15 years to win the argument for me, and they're on track to do it.

A complicated topic but our family is Japanese and American; they'll be able to pick which country they'd like tertiary education in, but the quality of education one receives at a good American institution is *much* better than good Japanese undergrad.

The answer, if you have the luxury to afford it, is both. Go do liberal arts, expand your brain and curiosity, then do Lambda. That combination is unbeatable.

I've been told a lot that liberal arts is supposed to expand your brain and curiosity. As someone with a degree in it (in addition to engineering): it seems highly unlikely to be most efficient way to spend $100k+ on that goal.

One possibly complication, after checking with my kids selecting colleges: they don't want to be programmers. (I love programming, and they know that.)
