Al, perhaps you and stillsunny are just baiting, perhaps not.
I think there is great value to a liberal arts degree. It allows one who desires higher education without a professional focus a good foundation of math and science. The application of both in the arts is mandatory. Not everyone desires a "professional" career but still sees the need for additional general education.
Additionally, without teachers where would any of us, including you math and science professionals, be? Yes, there are both excellent and poor teachers just as in all other professions. We all had a teacher who lit a fire in our brains - do you similarly insult their education and career choice as well?
(Not a Liberal Arts grad myself - but I do recognize the value of education.)
