re: #429 JohnAdams

I treasure my liberal-arts education from a highly respected state university, but I know that at the time I was smart enough to know that that was what i was getting. I was learning about human history, literature, and how to see human problems in context. But at the end of the day, all that stuff can only help you understand the world. You need tradeable skills and the gumption to trade them to make a living.

My degree is History and PolySci. I was going to teach like my parents had, but I ended up managing the family business. I am now the owner and there are many days I wish I would have studied business. On the other hand, I usually kick ass when we play Trivial Pursuits and watch Jeopardy.
