3) The source of the American "liberal arts" degree is the English upper classes imitation of the Ancient Meds who despised work & workers. As Jules Veyne said: "[in the Ancient World] you are free [liber] if your name don't come w/a profession". https://t.co/Yo8zxvtT4b — PolitiTweet.org

2) If a U.S. college degree appears to be useless, it is by design. For "liberal arts"= training for upper class free men (liber) who were above having a profession. You learn to earn $$ in vocational or professional schools. Middle class parents were tricked & fleeced. — PolitiTweet.org
