It shouldn&#x27;t be, but there are a lot of people who don&#x27;t give a damn about a liberal education for themselves, and just want a degree to improve employment opportunities. For them, I think it&#x27;s kind of a sham to say that the only way to get the jobs they want is to sit through lots of non-employment-related material.<p>Would our society be better if more citizens were liberally educated and thusly enriched? Perhaps. But that doesn&#x27;t invalidate the desire to offer students greater opportunities at lower opportunity cost.
