In a time when people are getting laid off left, right and center and when people are reevaluating employee worth, a degree in the liberal arts doesn't really help. This article is an uncomfortable look into the qualities that employers now look for. Degrees in fields such as science and mathematics (basically any quantitative skill)are worth more in our current system. After all, R&D in technologies for a cleaner environment and alternative energy sources, medicine and similar technical fields are ever essential.
Are degrees in government still worth the same? I actually think that demand for government majors will increase now that politics has become such an important part of the economy and change. What do you think? Are most of us doomed?
