I'm sorry that you don't see how this applies to your life. One of the unfortunate problems in US culture has been the rising belief that the purpose of education is to prepare you for a job or a profession, rather than a career. Your major is not supposed to be your career. Among the Forbes top 100 CEOs, only 20 percent have undergraduate business degrees. Over 40 percent have BS or BA degrees in majors completely unrelated to their business management work. Goldman Sachs’ CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, has a degree in history. So does Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan. Anthem’s CEO, Gail Boudreaux, studied psychology/sociology. Both Nike’s Mark Parker and Target’s Brian Cornell received degrees in political science. Many of the business leaders I've spoken to fondly recall their things they learned in their anthropology courses to me. By exposing you to brilliant work in multiple fields, liberal arts education was created to teach you to read/hear/learn unfamiliar information, think about it critically and logically, synthesize it with what you already know, and be prepared to discuss it orally, in writing, and increasingly through digital media of various kinds regardless of the subject matter.
Short, precise and in simple terms. keep up the amazing work.
Thank you
