The neurotic view on liberal arts degree career options is finally taking a positive turn. The idea that a bachelor degree is really about building work habits and the building of general world perception is getting increasingly accepted, which is encouraging.
I am in complete agreement with the view that a liberal arts graduate can be as successful as anyone else, and that personal motivation is really the determinate factor in everyone's life progress.
Especially considering that we are living in a decade where all information is online, the demand for concrete knowledge is gradually decreasing with confidence that it can be acquired with the appropriate level of motivation and work ethic.
The skill demand is giving way to personal traits such as leadership, communication and organizational skills along with application of new technological programs, which can easily be learned online.
