Although I have to admit that if I had decided my course of study in
college based on marketability and practicality, rather than, say,
what I was interested in studying, I would've most likely hated the
experience, and might find myself having to rationalize it in later
years. Since those seem to be the values of the people who generally
deride the liberal arts, that's where my joke came from.

Sorry if you were offended, but if you're sensitive to that charge,
you might want to wonder where that comes from.

How about this as a position to advocate- for each major listed in a school catalog, they should list the percentage of people holding that degree from the last 30 years who actually have paying work in that field, and of that total, how many are TEACHING it? Since my major is probably one of the leaders in the self-perpetuating category, advocating this shouldn't be a slam on anyone else.
