    The rationale behind discrediting Liberal Arts

    I was just wondering about the rationale that engineering/math/compsci students and graduates had behind the disdain for liberal arts.

    I know that there has been some mention that many people that pursue a liberal arts type major are less intelligent, don't need to attend college for their future careers, etc etc. Anyone want to elucidate on this rivalry?

    They're different, so we hate them.
    Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

              You've obviously never had to take a class with moronic liberal arts students. It's torture, far worse than anything we're doing in Gitmo...

                  It's the envy of the actually educated by the merely trained.

                      Why would you envy people poorer than you?

                        so it's a human rights issue?

                        doesn't the system pounce on them once they finish (or don't)? It's not like they work less hard and achieve more career-wise (most times).

                          You can envy them when they're your betters.

                            It does, thank god. The "actually educated" get what's coming to them in the labor market...

                            You can envy them when they're your betters.


                            If they're poorer than you, they can't possibly be your better. Don't be ridiculous.

                              Then what's the problem? If the system works why are people still mad?
